The county has opened an application process for the Short Water Line program that connects residents on wells to county water.
The Short Line Water Project absorbs most of the cost to get access to safe water to residents.
Residents who want to connect to the county water system can apply until Dec. 20. Click here to for more information on the project and how to apply.
