Multiple U.S. Cities Approve Infrastructure Projects Expanding Sewer, Water Systems

Several local governments are advancing significant infrastructure projects to improve water and sewer services. In New Whiteland, the Town Council raised the sewer connection fee to fund sewage infrastructure and initiated design work for a new wastewater treatment plant to replace aging and non-compliant equipment. Cedar Falls City Council approved a public improvement project for Walter's Pond, including a storm sewer extension designed to enhance water management without impacting private property. Ravalli County and the City of Hamilton finalized a rebate recovery plan to finance a $4.2 million sewer extension line connecting the county airport to Hamilton's sewer system, assigning reimbursement fees based on property usage. Meanwhile, Freeport, Illinois, approved bids and engineering contracts for a westward water main expansion to supply water and fire protection to residential, commercial, and educational facilities. These efforts reflect a broader commitment to upgrading regional water and wastewater infrastructure to meet growing community needs.
