Brownsville Wastewater Improvements
CWCOG helped the City throughout a major wastewater collection system and treatment lagoon upgrade by facilitating discussions with funders, preparing grant applications, grant administration, and monitoring labor standards. The funding package for the project included a $750,000 CDBG grant, a $250,000 grant and $300,000 loan from the Oregon Water/Wastewater Finance Program, and a grant/loan package from Rural Development ($1.2 million grant and $6.2 million loan). 

Monroe Wastewater System Improvements
The City's undersized wastewater treatment lagoons and pump station bypass raw sewage to the Long Tom River during periods of heavy rain. CWCOG helped the City put together the $2 million funding package that includes a $1 million Community Development Block Grant and a $1 million loan from the Oregon Water/Wastewater Finance Program. We will provide grant administration services to the City throughout the project.
