The Town of Chautauqua and Village of Brocton each are receiving water infrastructure grants through the state Environmental Facilities Corporation.
Governor Kathy Hochul announced the award of $638 million in grants to municipalities and public authorities across the state for projects that will protect public health or improve water quality.
The town of Chautauqua will receive $803,250 with the village of Brocton receiving $605,280.
State Senator George Borrello said, “Most of these communities have aged water systems that are 70 or 100-years old. Each year, residents are forced to endure water main breaks and outages that leaves them without water for days at a time in some cases. These breaks are not just a nuisance for residents, they also disable fire hydrants, endangering lives and property. These projects will have a lasting impact.”
