Riley County has about $33,000 available to help eligible property owners repair or replace failing wastewater systems, but officials are struggling to get residents to apply for the assistance.
Amanda Webb, Riley County planning director, told county commissioners Thursday that the local environmental protection program has helped several property owners this funding cycle, including one who needed a system connection and another who needed a tank replacement.
The purpose of the grant program is to assist low- to moderate-income Riley County residents with repair or replacement of their failed residential private wastewater systems or components.
