Niles has received $600,000 in federal funding to enhance its sanitary system, which is intended to alleviate flooding during heavy rainfall and stabilize sewer rates. This funding will specifically support Phase 3 of the Niles Sanitary Detention Pump Station Project.

Mayor Steve Mientkiewicz noted that the project will mitigate flooding risks and help control long-term operational costs. Previous phases occurred in 2023 and 2025. Mientkiewicz acknowledged Rep. Dave Joyce for efforts to secure this funding for Niles.
