Rep. Miller Requests $2 Million For Century Water System Improvements
April 4, 2009
Century may finally get nearly $2 million for water system improvements to solve a 10-year old problem.
U.S. Congressman Jeff Miller has released his annual list of local appropriation requests, and it includes $1,191,960 for Century’s water system.
Funding would provide for installation of a new 500,000 Gallon Elevated Tank to improve system reliability and fire protection, two natural gas operated back-up generators to improve system reliability for the existing water treatment plants, 16,000 feet of six-inch water main and a booster station to provide fire protection, improve pressure and system reliability in a portion of the existing water system franchise area.
Many of the approximately 25 households on Backwoods Road have complained to the town for nearly a decade about poor water pressure, muddy water and sometimes the lack of water. The homes are served by 1.7 miles of pipe just two inches in diameter.
Miller is requesting about $80 million for 33 projects that must get past both chambers of Congress and a signature from President Barack Obama.
