LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A small Nebraska town is getting a $250,000 grant to help upgrade its water system.

The Nebraska Department of Economic Development says Merriman will use the money to update parts of its water system.

Merriman is planning to replace a well and make modifications to an existing well house.

The town will also receive $350,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help with the project.
