Newport Authorizes DEQ Wastewater Inventory Grant Application
The town of Newport, North Carolina, has authorized an application for a Wastewater Asset Inventory Assessment grant from the state's Department of Environmental Quality. The initiative is part of a broader effort to refurbish and modernize the town's aging infrastructure.
The Newport Town Council unanimously approved a resolution on September 23 to pursue the grant. The funding is intended to support a comprehensive assessment of the town's wastewater assets, which is a prerequisite for planning future infrastructure upgrades.
By conducting an asset inventory, the town aims to identify specific components of the wastewater system that require repair or replacement. This data-driven approach is expected to help the town prioritize its capital improvement projects.
Town Manager Michele Querry has been authorized to manage the application process. This effort reflects a growing trend among smaller municipalities to utilize state-level technical assistance and funding to address long-term infrastructure maintenance needs.
