The city will remove or replace about 489 manholes and replace more than 96-thousand linear feet of sewer line. Other funds will provide a more than one million dollar match.
Highland has been awarded a $500,000 grant for improvements to the city’s water system. The project will involve construction of a new 125,000 gallon elevated storage tank and water line improvements. Other funds will provide a nearly $805,000 match.
