The Governor’s Office on Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds recently partnered with COI to assist in allowing 50 individual septic systems, which are in violation of the Chautauqua County Health Department Sanitary Code, to be upgraded and brought to code over the next two years. With this $27,000 grant, the program will provide assistance throughout the county with Chautauqua Opportunities serving as the Sub recipient. “This opportunity to assist families in Chautauqua County with their individual home sanitary needs provides a double benefit to all”, indicates Richard Calla, Housing Specialist, “not only will the homeowner have a new septic system, but the possibility of ground water contamination will also be eliminated.” Mr. Steve Johnson, Director of Environmental Services, with the CCHD indicates, “The Health Department is very please to support this program and will work closely with COI during the implementation process. The ability to assist residents in the County without municipal sewers is of paramount importance and the success of this program could mean additional dollars in the future.” Additional information on this program can be obtained by contacting Chautauqua Opportunities program offices in Jamestown at 661-9430 or Dunkirk at 366-3333 or visit our website at www.chautauquaopportunities.com.
