ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The City of Rochester and the Town of Victor have both gotten a share of $250 million that the state is allocating for water and sewer infrastructure projects.
Rochester is getting $38 million in state and federal grants to help with ongoing efforts to replace 3,245 lead service lines. The city will get interest-free financing, including a loan forgiveness LIFT grant.
