Steve Gardner’s out today so I got to write about Bremerton, which was the only municipality in Kitsap to a earn a crack at one stream of economic stimulus funding originating with the federal Environmental Protection Agency and aimed at improving water quality.
The Washington State Department of Health on Monday announced that the city’s proposal for ultraviolet treatment of its drinking water is among 27 projects recommended for funding out of 347 applicants statewide.
The state received a total of 14 project applications from Kitsap County and 21 from Mason County, two of which have also been recommended for funding.
Projects had to be “shovel ready” within four months.
Those in the South Kitsap area that did not make the cut are listed below, along with projects from North Kitsap and Bainbridge Island. Another project for a water main in Bremerton was also passed aside.
But the list could change based on the results of a public comment period that ends April 6, said Carolyn Cox of the state Department of Health.
The DOH received a total of $38.5 million in economic stimulus
funding from the federal Environmental Protection Agency for
water quality. The money will be distributed through the state
Public Works Board, which will rule on the Department of Health
recommendations on April 7.
The board is taking comments on the draft list of grant recipients
through April 6. A public meeting is set for 10 a.m. April 3 at 243
Israel Road SE in Tumwater.
