The Project Plan was reviewed and scored by EGLE, ranking within the fundable range of the final Project Priority List (PPL) for federal and state-match funding. The Barton Pump Station Valve Improvements Project is eligible to receive DWSRF funding and is eligible for a Drinking Water Infrastructure (DWI) Grant estimated to be $1,380,000.00.
