Town of Hermon awarded $718,400 state grant for wastewater upgrade

Posted

HERMON -- The Town of Hermon has been awarded a New York State grant for $718,400 for an upgrade to their wastewater treatment facility by adding ultraviolet disinfection equipment, improving the water quality of Elm Creek.

Governor Kathy Hochul announced Monday, March 6, that approximately $110 million was awarded to 86 projects through two grant programs to improve water quality across the state.

The grant programs support projects that will help protect drinking water, combat contributors to harmful algal blooms, update aging water infrastructure, and improve aquatic habitat in communities statewide, with more than $90 million of the funding supporting water quality improvements in Environmental Justice communities that have been disproportionately impacted by environmental pollution.
