The Town of Sweden is exploring the potential of a new water district that would include LaDue Road from Route 19 west to West Sweden Road, West Sweden Road from LaDue Road north to Fourth Section Road, and Swamp Road from Route 19 east to Sweden Walker Road. Those roadways were identified through a Town Board survey sent in January to all property owners without public water and by the Town’s engineers in consideration of water hydraulics.
Sweden’s last water expansion project was completed in 2021. That project was made possible through a Rural Development grant and low interest loan program. Unfortunately, Rural Development program requirements changed and the Town was not eligible for funding for another project. However, new median household income data released in the fall of 2023 moved the Town of Sweden to an eligible category.
The Town Board has invited all property owners in the potential district to attend a meeting on Tuesday, June 25, at 6:15 p.m. at the Sweden Town Hall to learn more about water district formation, the Rural Development application process, and property owners’ roles in a public water expansion project.
For more information regarding the meeting or proposed project, call the Supervisor’s office at 637-7588.
