BISMARCK – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND)
announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development
awarded the following funding to improve North Dakota’s water infrastructure:
- $2,800,000
loan to the City of Richardton to complete a city-wide street and storm
sewer improvement. The project will consist of milling, patching, and hot
bituminous pavement overlay, curb and valley gutter repairs, and storm
sewer culvert replacement. Richardton's streets are currently in very poor
condition due to age, with longitudinal and traverse cracking, raveling,
bituminous patching, and rutting.
- $30,000
grant to the City of Leeds to review the existing water system in Leeds,
ND including the water source, treatment methods, storage facilities,
distribution system, and especially areas of concern with low pressure and
leaks. This will allow the town of Leeds to plan for the future of its
water infrastructure.
