Hi, my name is Jerry Mendoza, I am 15 years old and I go to Caruthers High School in California. I am going to inform you about the wastewater treatment plant in Caruthers. The Caruthers Community Service District is in charge of wastewater and water, and they applied for funding from USDA Rural Development to expand the wastewater treatment plant and upgrade the plant’s treatment process. The reason they need this project is because the facility needs to be able to exceed the government’s levels for a wastewater treatment plant, also they wouldn’t be able to add additional housing in the town.
