If all goes as planned, by the end of fiscal year 2024 Okaloosa County officials will have spent $6 million in federal aid to line 24 miles of the worst sections of unlined clay sewer pipes in the south county.

Provided by the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act, the funding will pay to upgrade more than one third of the 63 miles of unlined vitrified clay gravity sewer mains in the county’s overall water and sewer service area.
