City will evaluate wastewater system improvements JEFFERSON CITY, MO, APRIL 24, 2026 – The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has awarded a $50,000 Clean Water Engineering Report Grant to the city of Waverly to evaluate the city’s wastewater system.
Through its Clean Water Engineering Report Grant program, the department offers funding to qualified small communities to help with evaluating public wastewater system improvements. The city will use the grant to identify wastewater system improvements needed to continue reliable service to the area and to reduce stormwater inflow and infiltration into sewer collection pipes. The facility plan should be complete in September 2027.
“Reliable water and wastewater infrastructure is essential for all Missourians,” said Kurt Schaefer, director of the Department of Natural Resources. “In addition to our citizens, this necessary infrastructure sustains communities and industries across the state.”
Wastewater systems are essential infrastructure that support every community’s health and economic vitality. Through this grant, qualified communities can thoroughly assess their wastewater systems and identify improvements for better efficiency, effectiveness and service. During the assessment, communities can determine what actions are needed to address current needs and plan for future growth and development.
The department’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund finances improvements to wastewater treatment facilities, sewer collection system rehabilitation and extensions, and combined sewer overflow corrections. The fund also finances security, efficiency and conservation measures. Communities that borrow from the fund benefit from the below-market interest rate and from a department project manager’s assistance throughout the project.
