Document Description
The City of Chico is applying for a Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) grant from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to address waste discharge violations from individual disposal systems. The proposed Project would develop a plan of study to address these violations by eliminating 112 existing septic systems and connecting 474 dwelling units located within 5 mobile home parks to the public sewer system. This current phase of funding supports planning and design for the future construction phase that will receive its own environmental documentation.
