Grande came with impec-
cable timing, as the City
of Elgin recently received
$476,400 in grant money
from Business Oregon to
kickstart its wastewater
system renovation proj-
ect — something that has
been on Larman’s mind
since he began working
with the public works de-
partment nine years ago.
“It’s a good thing to get
started, and I have total
faith in Elgin’s City Coun-
cil and our public works
crew,” he said. “I don’t
think the project will get
dropped. We’ll keep pro-
gressing year after year.”
Larman noted the sew-
er’s makeover will cost
about $6 million over a
20-year period when it’s
all said and done, but with
the grant money and the
CCTV van at its disposal,
the city can get to work
immediately.
