Perry County will receive $2 million from the Delta Regional Authority to improve water infrastructure.
The announcement was made today by U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (D-AL 7th District).
In addition, the city of Carrollton in Pickens County will receive nearly $1 million.
“I am thrilled to announce that the residents of Perry County and Carrollton will soon be getting major upgrades to their water supply,” Rep. Sewell said. “These awards will help ensure that our communities have access to clean, safe, and reliable water. I thank the Delta Regional Authority for investing in Alabama’s 7th Congressional District, and I will continue fighting to bring federal dollars to the Black Belt to address our water and sewer needs.”
The Perry County Water Authority will use this $2 million investment to make improvements to the water system serving the Heiberger area of Perry County, which will reduce system water losses, lower operation and maintenance costs, mitigate health and sanitation risk and ensure reliable water supply for residents.
The Town of Carrollton will use its nearly $1 million award for a water distribution system project that will improve water services to all residents and businesses, increasing their overall quality of life.
