Provide a summary of the project or program:
           Ward 3 Water System is in need of Water System improvements which included replacement of an 8" diameter transite pipe, paint the existing elevated tank, install a new water well, refurbish the existing water office, install new water valves, refurbish the chlorinator, and replace the existing meters with radio read meters. The Water System has done well with maintaining their system, and usually requests a CWEF each year for assistance with water system repairs. However, they are in need of some large scale improvements. The transite pipe is old and brittle, and water line breaks are frequent. The elevated tank is in desperate need for painting. The system's existing wells are aging and they are in need of a replacement well. The water office has had no major upgrades since its original construction, and needs refurbishment. The system would like to increase efficiency by replacing all existing meters with radio read meters, which will be more accurate than the 30 year old meters and reduce man hours, monthly, spent on reading meters.
