The Ohio Water Development Authority (OWDA) awarded $27 million in state funding for eight projects that will provide improvements and replace aging infrastructure, an OWDA spokesperson said.

The City of Kettering is receiving at least $1.7 million in state funding at a 3.38% interest rate to replace aging water lines.

This includes at least $1.5 million for 20 years for the construction of 8,400 feet of waterline along Regent, Mirimar, Fairway, Belvoir, Brookview, Ridgeview, and Laurelwoods Streets, according to OWDA.

They are also receiving more than $295,000 for 20 years for the building of 2,200 feet of waterline along Silverwood, Carlyle, Stanton Hall, and Old Church Streets.

The city is getting funding from OWDA’s Fresh Water Loan Program.

Information about when construction will begin is not known at this time.
