KELLOGG –– The purchase of a new piece of equipment usually isn’t a big deal for a city, but the city of Kellogg’s new Vactor truck isn’t just any piece of equipment.
In late 2022, Kellogg city officials applied for and received $2.1 million in grant monies as part of the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality’s Leading Idaho Program – with the emphasis of the application being on phosphorus reduction in their stormwater system.
As part of the approved application, the city received $550,000 that was specifically earmarked for the purchase of equipment that would assist them in their efforts to manage and reduce the contaminants in the water as it flows into the Coeur d’Alene River.
