Water Board Receives USDA Grant

Jake Sheeran of the Texas Rural Development Office delivered welcome news during Tuesday's Skidmore Water Supply Corporation (SWSC) board meeting. Mr. Sheeran announced that SWSC would be the recipient of a $509,250.00 USDA grant. Funds from the grant will be used to cover the cost of hooking local residents up to the new water and waste-water lines currently being laid throughout the Skidmore township. Low income families were already covered under a previous ORCA grant and now, thanks to the USDA grant, local residents, regardless of income, can count on being connected into the new system.
