Colebrook and Littleton are two of eight New Hampshire communities receiving grant funding from $12.1 million pot of money for clean drinking water infrastructure, planning, and other projects. The funding, which comes from federal stimulus dollars in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and from the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund for New Hampshire communities, was announced this week by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. For clean water infrastructure, Colebrook was awarded a $200,000 ARPA grant that, along with local funds, will go toward a total $1 million project cost. Also for clean water infrastructure, Littleton was awarded a $579,000 ARPA grant that, with a CWSRF loan, will go toward a total project cost of $1.93 million for the town’s wastewater treatment plant, which has incurred years of deferred maintenance. Littleton was also awarded a $100,000 ARPA grant to cover the entire clean water planning cost.
