Congressman Hal Rogers Announces Water System Improvements for Pike County.
Congressman Hal Rogers announced that the US Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Office will make a low- interest loan of $ 650,000 to Pike County’s water treatment plant enabling it to increase capacity for nearly 16,000 customers in the area.
“ Investing in water system improvements is essential to preparing for future residential and commercial growth,” said Rogers. “ By investing these funds now, we’re laying the foundation to attract more jobs and more people to eastern Kentucky.”
The USDA investment will increase capacity from two million gallons per day to three. Additional improvements are also planned to improve the water supply.
