Lumberton is one of several communities in the state to receive part of the $282 million in loans and grants created to help pay for drinking water and wastewater projects, according to Gov. Roy Cooper s office.
The city will receive $2,316,900 in principal forgiveness loan funding through the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act of 2019 to construct three wells outside of the flood plain in the city. The new wells would replace three old ones that are subject to flooding, according to a news release.
Governor Cooper approved the funding Feb. 23 after a State Water Infrastructure Authority meeting. The Authority, an independent nine-member group that awards federal and state funding for water infrastructure projects, also helps the state develop a state water infrastructure plan.
