The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has awarded a $50,000 Clean Water Engineering Report Grant to the village of Blythedale, in Harrison County, to evaluate potential improvements to its wastewater system.

The grant offers funding to qualified communities to help cover engineering costs of evaluating potential wastewater system improvements. Blythedale will use the grant to identify improvements needed to continue reliable service to the area, meet permit requirements, and reduce stormwater infiltration into sewer collection pipes. The facility plan should be completed in December 2025.

“Water and wastewater systems are essential infrastructure that support a community’s health and economic vitality,” said Dru Buntin, director of the Department of Natural Resources. “Through this grant, Blythedale has an opportunity to assess its wastewater treatment system to identify improvements that are needed to meet current needs and allow for future growth and development.”
