Congressman Moolenaar Secures $2.25M Grant for Edenville Dam Project

We want to thank Congressman John Moolenaar, who advocated on behalf of the Four Lakes community to secure a  $2,250,000 grant for Four Lakes Task Force to install AMEP (architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing) equipment necessary for long-term operations and monitoring of Edenville Dam. The AMEP project consists of design and construction of the utilities system to operate dam components such as gates and de-icing units. AMEP work can also include the following: 

• Architectural: Constructing infrastructure for dam operations to monitor and control dams and gates
• Mechanical and Plumbing: Running pipes, laying down equipment, building handrails and installing walkways
• Electrical: Wiring for items like safety lights and lights in the control buildings, as well as power to the different hydrologic units and side seal units that are needed to operate the dams. There is also an instrumentation component that includes measuring water levels around the dam and installing controls

While these funds are directed to a specific project, they will help reduce overall project costs, which benefits everyone in the special assessment district.
