From the EPA STAG Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Project Account, which will go to the Town of Wadesboro, North Carolina. South Wadesboro, located in an economically depressed rural county, has a large residential area where over 160 homes currently have no sewage service. Septic tanks in the area have a high rate of failure, and currently sewage flows in open trenches within the Town’s neighborhoods. Funding for this project will help create needed water and sewage infrastructure, and help local, state, and federal governments to provide needed sanitation infrastructure and improve public health.
