A major infrastructure project is nearing completion in Monticello, as crews work to transition homes along Hickory Street from septic tanks to a centralized sewer system. City leaders say the project stretches from Highway 90 down to a lift station and is designed to improve sanitation while protecting nearby waterways, including Crooked Creek.
The project is supported through funding from the State Revolving Fund, which helps local governments finance wastewater improvements. Officials say the city is eligible for funding that could include up to 100 percent principal forgiveness tied to hurricane recovery efforts.
