Elizabeth, MN – Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach says more than $9 million in federal funding is going to 11 infrastructure projects in Minnesota’s 7th District.
Of the $9 million, $1,750,000 will be going to the City of Elizabeth to overhaul aging water and sanitation systems. These funds will address urgent infrastructure failures, protect local groundwater, and ensure the long-term health and safety of the community.
“Reliable water and waste management systems are a necessity for rural communities,” said Rep. Fischbach. “For too long, the people of Elizabeth have dealt with frequent pipe breaks and a sewer system that is failing to meet modern standards. I am proud to secure this investment, which will modernize Elizabeth’s infrastructure, prevent costly emergency repairs, and safeguard the environment for generations to come.”
- Replacement of aging PVC water mains and service lines to eliminate frequent leaks.
- Installation of modern water meters to provide more accurate reporting and identify system-wide water loss.
- Repair of a sanitary collection system that currently suffers from cracks and root intrusions that violate safety standards.
The City of Barnesville will also be receiving $750,000 for its water improvement project.
