The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently selected the Devola sewer project for federal funding in the amount of $1.075 million.
Washington County Commissioner Charlie Schilling announced the funding at Thursday morning’s commission meeting.
“This is a really big deal and it just goes to show the work that we have been putting in … in order to help the residents of Devola,” he said. “Not only the residents of Devola, but the residents of Washington County when it comes to the sewer system.”
A letter from the Corps’ planning, programs and project management division said the sewer project was deemed eligible for the Section 594 Program. The funding is applicable toward project design and construction costs.
