20 Avril 2023 - 4:15PM
Artesian Water Company, Inc., a subsidiary of Artesian Resources
Corporation (Nasdaq: ARTNA), received the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s (EPA) AQUARIUS Excellence in Community
Engagement Award. Artesian was recognized for its purchase of the
Town of Frankford Water System and subsequent Delaware Avenue Main
Extension project in Sussex County, Delaware, which utilized over
$2 million of grant money from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund
(CWSRF).
The award was presented on April 12, 2023 at the
Council of Infrastructure Financing Authorities (CIFA) Summit on
Water Infrastructure. The annual CIFA Summit on Water
Infrastructure brought together leaders in the CWSRF community,
project managers, utility members, federal partners, finance
experts, and policy advocates to discuss national water
infrastructure needs and projects. Artesian’s project was one of
five selected to receive the prestigious award out of the
twenty-one nationwide projects submitted. The Exceptional Community
Engagement Award recognizes a project with active community
participation and involvement throughout all aspects of the
project.
“Artesian is very proud to have been nominated
by the State of Delaware and selected by the EPA for this
prestigious award,” said Dian C. Taylor, Chair and CEO. “This
project is a culmination of working directly with our local
community partners and State leadership to accomplish a significant
milestone in Sussex County, Delaware.”
Artesian acquired the Town of Frankford’s water
system in April 2020. The Delaware Avenue water main
extension consisted of over 3,500 feet of new ductile iron water
main, drilling under a railway, and the installation of water
services and fire hydrants. The acquisition of Frankford’s water
system expanded Artesian’s regional public water system in
southeastern Sussex County, which now reaches from the Town of
South Bethany to Frankford and Dagsboro, covering 20 square miles
and serving nearly 6,000 customers.
“Artesian is honored to receive this award,
highlighting a significant project that utilized the available
grant funding mechanism to further provide accessibility to safe
drinking water while also enhancing water service reliability to
all residents in the Town of Frankford,” said Nicki Taylor,
President of Artesian Water Company. “The exceptional community
engagement to bring this project to fruition, while understanding
all the needs it encompassed, consisted of close communications
with the residents, local businesses, elected officials and the
State of Delaware.”
