Door and Kewaunee county homeowners may be able to upgrade their water well systems under a new loan program for rural residents. The Great Lakes Community Action Partnership Household Water Well program offers loans of up to $11,000 at one-percent interest over 20-years. Dean Hoegger, with the Clean Water Action Council, says such a program is a good start for local property owners, though he believes much more is needed.
The well improvement program is available to rural Wisconsin households with annual incomes of $56,439.
