Molino Utilities Awarded $165K Improvement Grant

December 11, 2015

Three North Escambia area projects were amoung those that received a total of $2.4 million in grant funding for water supply development Thursday from the Northwest Florida Water Management District’s Governing Board.

In Escambia County, a $165,000 grant was awarded to Molino Utilities to replace aging and undersized water lines with upgraded water mains and structures.

In Santa Rosa County, Moore Creek Mount Carmel Utilities received $151,020 to install a filtration system to remove dieldrin and other contaminants from two sand-and-gravel water supply wells. And the Town of Jay received $204,733 for the construction of a looped water system with an existing water main to improve pressures and system reliability.

The funding was awarded as part of a competitive grant program to help local governments and non-profit utilities address local water supply challenges and meet regional water supply protection and management needs.
