SPRINGFIELD The Springfield Water and Sewer Commission has been awarded $46,750,000 in low-interest subsidized loans for major capital improvement projects.
The loans are expected to save the commission and ratepayers a total of $19.7 million over a 20-year period, due to the reduced interest rates over the traditional bond market, and some forgiveness of principal, said Jaimye Bartak, commission spokeswoman.
