• The need for the proposed Anthon Water System Improvement Project is due to the age and condition of the City’s existing water treatment components and well no. 4. These components have exceeded their useful life and are causing failures which jeopardize the City’s ability to provide a consistent, quality water supply to their residents.

• The grant application will be submitted to the Iowa Economic Development Authority no later than July 1, 2019 at midnight.
• The City is requesting $300,000 in CDBG funds for the proposed project.
• The project will result in a citywide benefit and based on data from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey, 53.4% of the residents living in the City who will be impacted by the project are of low-and-moderate income.
• The proposed project activities will take place at the City’s water treatment plant located at 508 Main St. W., Anthon, Iowa.

• No persons will be displaced by the proposed project.
