Village of Campbellsport Awarded Estimated $453,000 in Principal Forgiveness for Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade

The Village of Campbellsport is pleased to announce it has been awarded an estimated $453,000 in principal forgiveness for its 2025 Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade project. This funding, made possible through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Clean Water Fund Program, is expected to reduce overall project costs by approximately 20%.
With the guidance of Strand Associates, Inc., who is leading the project for the Village, this principal forgiveness will significantly lower the amount of debt required by the sewer utility. As a result, ratepayers will experience less financial impact while the Village completes critical upgrades to the wastewater treatment system.
Village Administrator Charlie Kudy highlighted the importance of this funding.
“We are grateful for the Wisconsin DNR’s Clean Water Program and for the expertise of Strand Associates in helping us secure this principal forgiveness,” said Kudy. “This estimated $453,000 reduction will allow us to move forward with necessary improvements while keeping costs manageable for our residents.”
The 2025 Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade project includes repairs and upgrades to driveways, roofs, HVAC systems, electrical systems, and chemical rooms, as well as improvements to the plant’s phosphorus removal capabilities to meet updated environmental regulations. These upgrades will enhance system efficiency, improve reliability, and protect public health and local water resources.
The Village Board and staff remain committed to exploring additional funding opportunities to support future projects and minimize costs for residents.
