WI Communities Get Grant Money for Water Improvement News | September 24, 2024 | 0 | by Morgan McCarthy Some small Wisconsin communities are getting 460-thousand dollars to improve water systems. The Department of Natural Resources says the money will be used to take PFAs and manganese out of water systems for services like schools, day cares, and apartment complexes.
