Improvements to the City of Beloit’s water treatment system improvements have recently started. The financing package from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) will provide funding for a new water treatment plant, transmission main and raw water pump station. The drinking water system serves a population of approximately 1850.
Completion of this project will ensure the drinking water system remains in good operation for the long-term future.
Financing for the improvements to the City of Beloit’s water treatment system was made possible through a loan provided by KDHE with joint funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Using the Kansas Public Water Supply Loan Fund (KPWSLF), KDHE has provided a $11,404,000 loan, of which $2,587,320 in principal will be forgiven.
The KPWSLF provides financing for municipal drinking water infrastructure at interest rates that are below market. Since 1997, the KPWSLF has provided more than $1.5 billion to 318 municipalities to finance drinking water infrastructure in Kansas.
