Community Funding Project Requests
Manchester Asbestos Watermain Replacement
Location: 144 Mckinley Street, Manchester, MN 56007
Project Sponsor: City of Manchester
Requested Amount: $2,080,000
Use of Funds and Justification:
The funding would be used to replace a seventy-year-old asbestos watermain, which was projected to last only forty years.
The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because, due to the age of the pipe, the citizens of Manchester are living under the constant threat of asbestos leaking into their dringing water, which can lead to severe health effects including but not limited to cancer.
