St. Mary Parish communities will share in $18 million in state funding for water system improvements, state Sen. Bret Allain announced Wednesday.

Allain serves on both entities. He was appointed to the commission by the Senate president and serves on the budget committee as chairman of the Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee.

“These much-needed projects for local water systems in District 21 will provide improved infrastructure so that districts can continue to provide reliable and quality water services to the customers they serve,” Allain said in a press release.

The funding breakdown:
—$6.56 million for St. Mary Parish Waterworks District 4 (Charenton).
—$1.16 million for St. Mary Parish Waterworks District 3 (Centerville) to apply toward a $2.04 million project.
—$3.97 million for Morgan City to apply to a planned $4.58 million improvement project.
—$5 million for Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Waterworks District 1 (Houma) to apply toward a planned $13.39 million project.
—$1.39 million in bonds and $500,000 in cash for water system improvements in Jeanerette.

“These projects represent critical investments that will help modernize infrastructure across District 21, and I am happy to have played a part in bringing these tax dollars home for projects that are vital to all members of our community,” Allain said.
