ATLANTA — The City of Meigs has received a low-interest state loan to finance rebuilding the town’s wastewater-treatment plant.
“We’re fast-tracking as fast as we can,” Meigs Mayor Andy Wurst said Tuesday.
He expects 90 percent of the city’s sewer system ills to be resolved by the end of the year.
Meigs will pay 3 percent interest on the 20-year loan.
As part of Gov. Sonny Perdue’s vision for sustainable economic development, Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA) Executive Director Phil Foil said Meigs will receive a Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) loan of $437,881.
The loan will finance improvements to the wastewater-treatment facility and the sanitary sewer collection system.
“Infrastructure improvements increase quality of life for Georgia citizens, and they help cities and counties create jobs and promote economic development,” Perdue said. “I’m pleased this investment is being made in wastewater system infrastructure.”
“The federal water and sewer programs administered by GEFA assist local governments with improving their environmental infrastructure,” said Phil Foil. “Through the Clean Water program, affordable financing helps cities and counties improve water quality.”
