Use of Funds and Justification: 

The funding would be leveraged to repair, replace, and reconstruct Okabena’s drinking water distribution system to provide the residents and businesses of Okabena with a safe and dependable drinking water system.

The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because the distribution system has experienced an increased number of watermain failures which elevates the risk for system contamination and interrupts residents’ supply of drinking water
