Gov. Kathy Hochul has announced 27 municipalities will participate in a clean water infrastructure asset management program.
The Central New York municipalities participating are Auburn, Marcellus and Skaneateles.
The purpose is to help evaluate, monitor, protect and plan upgrades for waste water facilities.
This is the second phase of the program after a trial was conducted in 2021. Hochul said in a release that the program will help combat the effects of climate change.
