Twenty-eight communities were served in the program year by this EPA funded program designed to help communities with wastewater problems. The main aspects of this program include assisting communities in addressing regulatory concerns, small systems with operational and maintenance problems, communities violating their discharge permits or communities needing to upgrade their wastewater treatment and/or collection facilities in order to meet Clean Water Act requirements. The program also addresses a broad range of problems, including management, financing, construction, operations, lack of institutional capacity to implement facility improvements, facility maintenance, and watershed pollution threats. Seven workshops with 165 participants were held in these communities.
