The U.S. Department of Agriculture Thursday announced a pair of Mid-Columbia infrastructure projects will be receiving federal funds. The City of Dufur is receiving a $2,442,000 loan and $1,625,000 grant to make wastewater system improvements. The project will expand storage, improve treatment, and make significant upgrades to Dufur’s system. The Biggs Service District will use an $898,000 loan and $290,000 grant to complete significant water system improvements. That will allow the service district to install a main water line which will serve all district users and provide the necessary fire flow for community growth. In addition, the service district will purchase two formerly private wells and upgrade them to provide a backup water source.
