Federal and state officials on Friday marked the start of a $10 million project aimed at repairing and upgrading an Alabama community’s failing sewer system. The project in Hayneville is being funded from money allocated to the state by the American Rescue Plan – a portion of which state officials steered to high-need water and sewer projects – and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act. State and local officials signed the funding agreements Friday for the Infrastructure Act funding. The people of Hayneville, a community in Lowndes County, have long lived with an ill-functioning sewer system that has caused sewage to back up into their yards and homes.Previous story:EPA chief tours sewage problems in Alabama’s Black Belt
