City awarded grant to complete sewer

The City of Sisters has been awarded a $350,000 grant from the USDA Rural Utility Service to complete construction of its new sewer system.

Representatives from the Rural Utility Service will present a ceremonial check to Mayor Deborah Kollodge on Tuesday, September 24, at 10:45 a.m. at Sisters City Hall, 150 N. Fir St.

"Completion of the sewer system is a significant event in the City's history," said Mayor Kollodge. "(Former) Mayor Wilson and (former) City Administrator Barbara Warren's unyielding determination gave us the badly needed sewer we have today. Mayor Wilson stood by on his promise not to exceed the $39 monthly sewer fee," added Kollodge.
