Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that the Town of Clayton has been approved for a $1.18 million low-interest loan and a $965,500 grant from the federal government.

Funding will be used to make improvements to the town's wastewater treatment plant.  The project includes the construction of a 5,000-foot, 12-inch pipeline to convey treated waste and the construction of a new lined pond.

"Making necessary upgrades to essential infrastructure can be costly for a community, so I am very pleased the federal government is making this important investment in Clayton," Bingaman said.
