§ 14027 Drinking Water Project Priorities

Key Takeaways

  • •The state health department makes a list of important water projects that need money.
  • •They can use an old list from 1986 if they want, until they make a new one.
  • •The public gets to know and give input before the list is made.

Example

A small town has dirty drinking water and needs a new water cleaning system.

The state health department can put this project on their priority list to get money for fixing it. If they haven’t made a new list yet, they might use an old list from 1986 to decide which projects get help first.
