UTILITIES Wastewater and Water Systems Progress continues in upgrades to community facilities across the region due to funding through USDA or grants, Community Development Block Grant program, Missouri DNR State Revolving Fund and for counties which are in the Delta Regional Authority (DRA) area, are eligible for additional grant funds. In addition, several of our communities have extended or improved their systems with the assistance of grant monies or bond issues or both. The Meramec Regional Planning Commission staff continues to work with communities to find a feasible method for providing a proper water system and a sanitary sewer system that meets health and environmental standards. Wastewater Facilities The most popular types of sewer treatment are lagoons and oxidation ditches. The Meramec staff has worked with many small communities over the past 20 years using the Community Development Block Grant Program to provide and upgrade their sanitary sewer systems. Although not all of our communities have a complete water system or sewer system, progress is being made with an average of one or two communities funded annually for some type of water or sewer system or upgrade. The CDBG program has been a great benefit in assisting small rural communities to provide these needed services to their residents. Table 6-10 lists the region’s wastewater facilities. Water Facilities Table 6-11details water systems across the region. Most systems are aging, with the oldest found in Hermann and Owensville—1912 and 1913, respectively. As with wastewater facilities, many systems have been upgraded over the past 20 years using the Community Development Block Grant Program funding. Figures 6-9 through 6-15 show water system components for each county in the region.
