City of Yakima (City) Projects AC2570 and SC2605 provide designs for the installation of public water distribution and wastewater collections systems, respectively, in underserved low-income areas of Yakima. The project also includes identification of state and federal grant funding sources for the installation of the infrastructure in underserved and low-income areas. The designs provide “shovel ready” projects, increasing the likelihood of grant qualification and award as opportunities arise.
