Trimont Water Infrastructure Improvements
Location: 41 2nd Ave SW, Trimont, MN 56176
Project Sponsor: City of Trimont
Requested Amount: $5,000,000
Use of Funds and Justification:
The funding would enable the City of Trimont to replace its existing mechanical wastewater plant with a three-cell wastewater stabilization pond system, along with addressing other critical sanitary sewer collection system and water distribution system needs.
The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because Trimont’s residents and businesses face significant challenges due to an outdated mechanical wastewater treatment plant, which poses risks to public health and limits economic growth opportunities. These improvements will provide long-term benefits that extend beyond their municipal boundaries and positively impact the entire region.
