BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
East Baton
Rouge Parish officials gladly accepted a $45 million check Wednesday morning from
the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality.
The money
is from a federal program to help cities deal with the nationwide problem of
crumbling sewer lines. East Baton Rouge is no different. The city-parish is
under the largest sewer revamp in parish history and the check will help pay
the way.
"Thanks
in part to programs like this DEQ loan, I am proud to report that we are on
pace to provide East Baton Rouge Parish with a new state-of-the-art sewer
system that will meet or exceed all federal standards," said
Mayor-President Kip Holden.
He added
the check will repair leaking sewer collection lines and help with the
construction of the Choctaw Sewer Collection Maintenance Facility.
The loan is
for 20 years at less than 1 percent interest.
