The Town of Rayville will extend sewerage service south to the Louisiana Veteran’s Cemetery thanks to a capital outlay grant from the state.
“We already had water service running out to the cemetery but the sewerage service stopped at Winnsboro State Bank,” Rayville Mayor Harry Lewis said. “This will allow us to extend the service all the way out to the cemetery.”
Lewis added this would make it easier for new businesses along Highway 425 to tie into Rayville’s water system.
The project will be funded with a $1,274,229.30 capital outlay grant from the state.
