Success Stories
RCAC success stories are developed each quarter and are included in the Pacific Mountain Network News.The success stories generally feature a completed water, wastewater or housing project, describing what problems the community faced, how the project came together, funding options and how the problems were addressed. Generally, these stories are about communities that have received RCAC technical or financial assistance. All of the success stories that follow are excerpted from the Pacific Mountain Network News. There are many more successes in the News, these stories were just chosen to be converted into the success story format and highlighted in the newsletter and the RCAC web site. The stories are arranged chronologically from the most recent to the earliest postings.
