LaMalfa Announces Funding for Dunsmuir Water Infrastructure Improvements

(Dunsmuir, CA) – Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) announced a $7,934,000 loan and a $2,285,000 grant from U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development for the City of Dunsmuir. These funds will help replace and upgrade the water distribution system, including replacing 25,000 feet of troublesome, even failing, waterlines and 40 new fire hydrants.

LaMalfa said: "This funding from USDA Rural Development will help bring modern, reliable water infrastructure to the City of Dunsmuir. Improving the water distribution system will aid public health and safety and bring better fire protection to the area, as well as the convenience of tap water that people are accustomed to. I thank President Trump and Agriculture Secretary Perdue for their focus on bettering infrastructure in rural America."

Congressman Doug LaMalfa is a lifelong farmer representing California's First Congressional District, including Butte, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou and Tehama Counties.
