Mattawa receives water system funding, discusses ongoing projects

MATTAWA — Gray & Osborne Civil Engineer Jamin Ankney presented to the Mattawa City Council Thursday regarding funding the city received for two water system projects, with the council also approving two design contracts with Gray & Osborne. Mayor Maria Celaya introduced the first funding award, through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. “We have $7.2 million,” she said. “We don't know how much of it's a loan and how much of it is a grant.” “You will get some grant (money). They just don't know exactly how much yet. It sounds like it'll be a good funding package,” Ankney said.
