Cloverdale Dupont Watershed Authority Earns PISCES Recognition

May 23, 2023 by Adam Donaldson Leave a Comment

The CWSRF (Clean Water State Revolving Fund) George F. Ames PISCES Recognition Program nationally recognizes CWSRF-funded projects for exceptional focuses on the environment and public health. These projects are examples of the high level of innovation possible with the CWSRF.

Participating states in this voluntary recognition program nominated one CWSRF project during the 2022 round. Nominations were based on the following criteria categories. EPA selected one project from each category to be recognized as an Exceptional Project based on the project’s overall impact in the category.
• Innovative Financing
• System Partnerships
• Community Engagement
• Environmental and Public Health Protection
• Creative Solutions

The new Cloverdale Dupont Watershed Authority’s new Sanitation System recieved the award for Community Engagement between the two communities. The Pisces Award is the one of only 5 awarded and the Cloverdale Dupont award the only one awarded in the state of Ohio this year.

Below is a summary of the projects merits:

System Partnerships

Ohio Environmental Protection Agency

Project Name: STEP Collection System Dupont-Cloverdale Wastewater Plant
Assistance Recipient: Village of Dupont, Village of Cloverdale

The neighboring northwest Ohio communities of Dupont and Cloverdale suffered from failing
home sewage treatment systems and required significant financial assistance to make the
necessary upgrades affordable for their combined 460 residents. This project eliminated
186 failing or compromised home sewage treatment systems by constructing a regional
wastewater treatment plant between Dupont and Cloverdale and individual septic tank
effluent pump collection systems in each community.

By coordinating together to propose a regionalization project, the communities were able to
develop a financing package that qualified them for the Ohio SRF’s Water Pollution Control
Loan Fund (WPCLF) principal forgiveness and grant funding. Dupont received $4 million in
CWSRF principal forgiveness as well as grants from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) and the Ohio Water Development Authority (OWDA). Cloverdale received $902,000
CWSRF loan at a 0% “small community” rate, $500,000 from the OWDA, and grants from the
CDBG program.
