RE: Support for Historic Firestone Waterline Replacement Project
Dear Congressman Evans:
On behalf of Weld County, I am pleased to express support for the Town of Firestone's
application for Community Project Funding under the EPA's State and Tribal Assistance
Grant program for the Historic Firestone Waterline Replacement Project.
Reliable and resilient water infrastructure is essential to the health, safety, and long-term
sustainability of communities throughout Weld County.The Historic Firestone neighborhood
is served by aging water infrastructure that no longer meets modern standards for reliability,
system pressure, and fire protection. Addressing these challenges is an important step in
ensuring residents continue to receive safe and dependable water service.
The Town of Firestone has demonstrated a strong commitment to improving this system
through an ongoing replacement program. Financial support through this grant program
would help accelerate these upgrades and allow the Town to continue addressing critical
infrastructure needs in the Historic Firestone Neighborhood.
The proposed project will modernize aging waterlines, improve system performance, and
strengthen service reliability for residents.Investments like this are essential for maintaining
the infrastructure that supports healthy communities and responsible growth across Weld
County.
Weld County appreciates the Town of Firestone's proactive efforts to address these
infrastructure needs and strongly supports this funding request. Thank you for your
consideration of this important project.
Thank you for your attention and consideration of this important matter.
Sinc rely,
tt K. James
