Purpose: The Town of Saratoga is applying for funding through the State Revolving Loan Fund, to complete improvements to the Town's Sanitary Sewer System. The project includes the rehabilitate approximately 3,000 feet of existing sewer main lines. The work includes the replacement of two sewer main lines that cross the North Platte River.
