Carey is taking steps to get funding for a new sanitary sewer lift station. The Courier reports the village is applying for up to $420,000 in grants and loans from the state Public Works Commission. Carey has to submit the grant application to the Wyandot County Commissioners by Friday.

Lift stations pump wastewater or sewage from lower to higher elevations. Carey has already rebuilt two of the village’s five lift stations.

If approved, Carey could pay up to 40 percent of the project. That amounts to $168,000.

The application has to pass through a ranking process. If it gets by that part of the approval process it moves to a final round in early 2018.
