LISBON — Even more Columbiana County residents with failing septic systems and a lack of income to replace them will get help through programs with the Columbiana County General Health District this year.
County Health Commissioner Wes Vins told the board this week that the health department has learned they will not only receive the $150,000 they usually receive from the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund, but the department also will get another $150,000 through an H2O Ohio grant program.
Vins said he received a phone call and learned Columbiana County was one of 11 counties chosen in the state and mostly because the county has done such a good job utilizing all the money they have received through the WPCLF program over many years.
