Arkansas approves $79 million for aging water systems

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KAIT/KATV) - On May 15, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission approved $79 million in assistance for 25 water and wastewater infrastructure projects statewide.

“Arkansans are counting on their local water utilities to deliver consistent and safe drinking water. In my administration, we’re proud to help communities provide that critical service,” said Gov. Sanders. “The $79 million in assistance we’re announcing will help us improve water infrastructure for more than half a million Arkansans, keeping faucets, showers, and plumbing running all across our state.”

While a majority of the $79 million consists of low-interest state loans, around $5 million is from federal grants.
