Vernal City receives $4.9 million for a waterline replacement

Salt Lake City (Feb. 9, 2023) – The Permanent Community Impact Board (CIB) approved a $2,881,000 grant and a $2,087,000 low-interest loan for a waterline replacement in Vernal City.

The Permanent Community Impact Board awards grants and low-interest loans to cities, towns, and counties from funds directed to the CIB from mining and oil and gas extraction on federal land.
