SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency announced the issuance of infrastructure loans to local governments and sanitary districts for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2022. The Illinois EPA State Revolving Fund Program provides low-interest loans, which fund wastewater, storm water, and drinking water projects. LaSalle will rehabilitate the Civic Road elevated water storage tank, including removal of the exterior paint and repainting of the exterior with a new coating system. This project will help extend the life expectancy of the water tower. The total cost is estimated to be around $891,000, with $400,000 of the loan to be forgiven by the state. These projects are in addition to more than $9.6 million of funding and principal forgiveness already announced for lead service line replacement projects issued by Illinois EPA in the third quarter.
“Through our robust State Revolving Fund, Illinois EPA continues to meet the needs of communities and water districts that rely on this funding to address the ongoing challenges of deteriorating infrastructure,” said Director John J. Kim.
