The U.S. Department of Ag has announced over $830,00 in federal funding to replace and improve water and sewage systems in the city of Olivia. The project will replace deteriorated storm drainage systems, hydrants, and water and sewer mains.

The sewer system in the city of Olivia was constructed in the 1930s and ninety percent of the system in line to be replaced is over 70 years old. Over 2,500 Minnesotans in Renville County will benefit from these improvements.

The investment is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Water and Waste Disposal Loans and Grants program.
