FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE United States Rep. Virginia Foxx (N.C.-5) is pleased to announce that she has secured $750,000 for the Wilkes/Yadkin/Surry County Wastewater Treatment Facility Consolidation. The funding was included in the FY 2007 Department of the Interior appropriations bill which passed the House last week. “I am delighted that these vital funds I have been fighting for were included in this bill,” said Rep. Foxx. “Not only will these funds address current wastewater management needs, they will serve as the foundation for improved future benefits. The funds secured will allow consolidation of wastewater treatment facilities serving the towns of Elkin, Jonesville and Ronda, North Carolina.” The consolidation of the wastewater treatment facilities serving these towns will be the catalyst for the Yadkin Valley Sewer Authority, which will administer the collection, treatment, and administration of wastewater services among the three towns. Currently, the towns operate separate treatment plants in close proximity to each other along the Yadkin River. By consolidating, the towns can address future wastewater issues head on and avoid potential inflow and transmission backups. ### |
