Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements & Cross-Connection Survey

PROJECT # L17-7217 

The Village of Gifford, Illinois is constructing various improvements to the existing wastewater treatment plant. These improvements include installation of a new manual basket screen feature, the refurbishment of lagoon cell #1 level control structure, the refurbishment of lagoon cell #2 level control structure, the replacement of existing blowers, the refurbishment of existing sand filters, miscellaneous valve replacement, and all related appurtenances. These improvements are funded through a loan from the Public Water Pollution Control Loan Program administered by Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) under the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act. The total loan is for $1,188,379.41 at the Small Community interest rate of 1.62%. This loan qualifies for Principal Forgiveness in the amount of $356,513.82. Therefore, $831,865.59 will be repaid to the Illinois EPA at the interest rate of 1.62% over 30 years.
