May 23, 2008
Improvements are in the works for Walnut Hill Water Works thanks to a $866,000 grant and a $1,621,000 loan for the federal government.
The money from the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development will go toward water system improvements included a new 200,000 gallon elevated storage tank, repairs to two well houses and associated equipment, and the replacement and looping of lines to improve water pressure.
The existing water facility includes three wells and two elevated storage tanks serving 699 connections. In 2005, the system began experiencing problems when one well began to fail. Additionally, the well houses for two wells need physical and mechanical repairs and overall system water losses average 19% over the last six years. The system is also experiencing various areas of low pressure and areas of high pressure, and storage capacity is deficient per the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
The $2,487,000 check was present Thursday to Escambia River Electric Cooperative, which owns Walnut Hill Water Works.
“USDA Rural Development is pleased to work in partnership with Escambia River Electric Cooperative to improve the water system and safeguard the health and safety of area residents,” Rural Development State Director Ronald G. Whitfield said.
