The Chautauqua County South and Center Sewer District is receiving the funds for the Chautauqua Lake Sewer District Phase 3 Extension through the state’s Environmental Facilities Corporation’s Water Infrastructure Improvement and Intermunicipal Water Infrastructure Grant programs.

Other projects receiving funding include the Jamestown Board of Public Utilities which will receive $5 million for a Capital Improvement Project at the Cassadaga Pump Station.
The town of Busti also is receiving $4,072,740 for a Water District Infrastructure Improvement Project
The grants reinforce the State’s commitment to helping small, rural, and disadvantaged communities with their water infrastructure needs.
