This project, mandated by the state Department of Environmental Conservation, will be funded through an $11.5 million, zero-interest loan from the state Environmental Facilities Corporation, according to village Manager John Sweeney. The village has secured $3.7 million in grants, and the rest of the cost will be paid off through a $120 annual $10 per month addition to each of the village’s 2,030 wastewater ratepayers’ bills for the next 30 years.
