		<description>So let&#039;s get this straight-- the town of Century cannot get $50,000 to map its water system to aid in emergencies and &quot;satisfy FDEP requirements&quot; (which one would assume to be a priority),  while Chumuckla--which just coincidently is the hometown of your Rep in US Congress--gets more than twice as much $$ as Century requested, to get computerized upgrades and new equipment.  

Gee, wonder if there&#039;s any possibility that politics played a role in this selection process?</description>

		<description>It is sad that a big company with resources gets funding and the smaller companies do not, and they are the ones who really need it.</description>

		<description>This is really sad for entities not submitting for grants to better a township or a community.

But some townships are more focused on a goat or a horse within the city limits than meeting the FDEP requirements as such.

So easy to not worry about  what opportunity passes you by when you are not focused on whats good for all rather than a few one would assume.

In short...when you snooze you lose.</description>

		<description>Steve, from the article: &quot;Last fall, the District launched a grant program to help local governments and utilities within the District’s 16-county area apply for funding for water supply projects.&quot;

Since Farm Hill, Walnut Hill, Bratt-Davisville, or Central water companies aren&#039;t mentioned in the article, I assume that these utilities didn&#039;t submit grant applications for consideration.  Lost opportunity? Probably.  But because only three received funding including the ECUA bohemeth (which has millions of $ in reserve) for a &quot;planning project.&quot;  Actual repairs and upgrades to aging systems with little access to funding are now stranded, which could reduce drinkable clean water acces to uderserved rural residents.  In my opinion, the grant process looks to be subjective to NWFWD favortisim than an objective distribution.</description>
