PROJECT INFORMATION:
The town of Encampment received a grant appropriation of $137,000 for 60% of the WWDC
eligible portion of the project. The remainder of the project is financed by the town from other
sources.

Funding is also provided to connect the town's drinking water system to the Sierra Madre Water

performed with town crews and was financed by a capital facilities tax. The town and the Sierra
Madre Water and Sewer Joint Powers Board are negotiating to see if a connection is feasible.
