WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT INFORMATION

The District's wastewater treatment plant upgrade and expansion project continues to proceed.  Bids for this important construction project are being advertised, and are scheduled to be opened on August 14.  The project, currently estimated at a cost of $5.2 million, will take approximately 18 months to complete.

As was reported last year, the District received notice from the State of Arkansas that loan funds have been approved up to $6,000,000 at an interest rate of 2.75% through the State of Arkansas Construction Assistance Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) program.  The District has also received approval from the State of Arkansas for its financing plan, which specifies the repayment obligations of the loan through a combination of water/wastewater rate increases and an increase in assessments.  The sewer rate increase portion of this plan was implemented in early-2007; the assessment increase will be established at the completion of the construction project.
