Well compensation earmark for the town of Bloom
Under current law, an individual owner or renter of a contaminated private well may apply for a grant from DNR to cover a portion of the costs to treat the water, reconstruct the well, construct a new well, connect to a public water supply, or fill and seal the well. Under current law, a city, village, town, county, or special purpose district is not eligible for such a grant. This bill provides that the town of Bloom in Richland County may apply for this type of grant, not to exceed $16,000.
