Funding Rumors – State Project Priority List

There are rumors floating around that “PIWD is at the top of the state’s list for funding”, or that “the west side is getting a million dollars”, or such.

Some of these rumors may be based on the state’s Project Priority List (locally hosted copy of 2021 list). This list in fact shows PIWD’s project at the top of the list, but without a dollar amount because we have not yet completed an application. Prudence Park Water Co-op (the west side system) is farther down the list with a request of $1.2 million for “Well, Storage Tank, Pump House Impr., Distribution Replacement”, which sounds like a complete system overhaul to me.
