Senator Thayer and State Representative Royce Adams (D-Dry Ridge) worked in a bipartisan way to ensure that Owen County would receive $1.7 million to be used for water and sewer line extensions and upgrades for Owenton, Eagle Creek Sewer Extension Project, and the Peaks Mill Water District.
In addition, Senator Thayer included in these funds by $400,000 for the Eagle Creek-Owen County Wastwater Project.
"Clean water and a comprehensive sewer system is important not only for economic development but also for the quality of life of our families," Senator Thayer said, "I was pleased to obtain these additional funds."
