$891k flows to county for water, sewer

Jefferson County will receive $891,000 for water and sewer projects from the state as part of the funds Montana received from the federal American Rescue Plan Act—separate from the $2.37 million that ARPA sent directly to the county.

Currently, there are two water districts in the county that could use funding: Clancy and Basin.

Both districts have had a contentious year, with both entire boards resigning. Basin has a new board and the county commissioners are set to appoint a new Clancy Water and Sewer District board at their meeting on June 8.
