Boonville has been awarded a $7 million state grant to enhance its Mill Creek interceptor sewer line and wastewater treatment plant, announced by Gov. Kathy Hochul. This funding is part of a $250 million initiative for water infrastructure improvements across New York.

The project will commence on May 1, 2026, and is expected to be completed by May 1, 2028, following prior delays related to funding. The project includes improvements to the headworks, installation of a sequencing batch reactor system, ultraviolet disinfection equipment, and repairs to the interceptor. The village has previously secured a $3 million USDA grant and a $1 million state grant for related upgrades.
