Sewer District receives $660,000 for Phase 2

SEELEY LAKE - U.S. Senator Jon Tester announced that the Seeley Lake Sewer District will receive a grant for $660,000.

SLSD Manager Jean Curtiss said the grant will be applied toward Phase 2 of the collection system and reduce the cost to landowners by $4,853 per lot.

The grant funding comes from the Water Resources Development Act and will cover about 10 percent of the cost of constructing Phase 2’s collection system.

A complete funding package has not been secured for Phase 2 but grants from Montana’s Renewable Resource Grant and Loan Program, the Treasure State Endowment Program and U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development are expected to be matched with RD loans and local match.
