Georgia Environmental Finance Authority approved a $1.71 million Georgia Fund loan Tuesday to the Lowndes County Commission for wastewater system improvements.
This loan will finance installing an advanced ion exchange unit to treat contaminants and other wastewater system improvements.
The county will pay .82 percent interest on the five-year loan.
On Jan. 28, Lowndes County commissioners voted to approve an application for a $1.71 million GEFA loan.
“The Alapaha Water Treatment plant is in need of an upgrade,” said Lowndes County Clerk Paige Dukes. “The design for the project was approved by the Board of Commissioners on Aug. 13 (2013). The loan will pay for the engineering, equipment and installation of all needed upgrades.”
