The village of Lynch has received a $1,089,000 loan and $219,000 grant from USDA Rural Development for upgrades to their existing sewer facilities.
The upgrades will allow the village to meet the standard for leaching from lagoons. The improvements will alleviate the problem by properly sealing the lagoons and provide irrigation to dispose of the treated wastewater.
The Water & Waste Disposal Loan and Grant Program provides funding for clean and reliable drinking water systems, sanitary sewage disposal, sanitary solid waste disposal, and storm water drainage to households and businesses in eligible rural areas.
