Rep. Sykes Presents $500,000 Check For Arrowhead Water Well Project In North Canton
NORTH CANTON, OH— U.S. Representative Emilia Sykes (OH-13) recently presented a ceremonial check to North Canton Mayor Stephan B. Wilder for $500,000 in Community Project Funding for the North Canton Arrowhead Water Well Project.
“I’m glad to deliver this funding for North Canton to ensure residents have access to affordable, clean drinking water,” said Rep. Sykes. “Clean water is an essential resource for everyone in Ohio’s 13th Congressional District, and I will continue to fight for investments that will provide safe drinking water in our communities.”
“We are ecstatic to receive news of this $500,000 federal funding award in support of our Arrowhead Water Well Project. This project will be essential to maintaining a clean drinking water supply throughout our North Canton Public Water System and upholding our high standards of water service to tens of thousands of people for generations to come. On behalf of City leadership and the community we serve, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Congresswoman Sykes and her staff for their dedication and support of this critical initiative,” Mayor Wilder.
The City of North Canton will use this funding to establish an additional water source with lower chloride levels to combine with output from the North Canton PWS' existing wells, in order to stabilize overall chloride levels in the water supply and comply with Ohio EPA regulations. This funding will provide residents of North Canton with access to safe drinking water with significantly reduced risk of chemical contamination.
The $500,000 for the North Canton Arrowhead Water Well Project is one of the 12 Community Project Funding recipients, totaling more than $14.9 million, that Rep. Sykes secured in the recently passed 2024 federal spending bill. The other projects included in this funding can be found here.
