Northumberland County BOS Looks To Get Help Paying For Sewage Plant Upgrades

The Northumberland County Board of Supervisors is working on ways to handle the higher-than-expected bids on upgrades at the wastewater treatment facility for Callao/Reedville. According to the Rappahannock Record the county applied for a Virginia Department of Environmental Quality grant to cover the $2 million in additional funding. The low bid was $6.9 million and expires on Aug. 9 but county officials say it could be months before they learn if the grant is being approved.
