More news on the ARRA front from US Department of Agriculture (published May 13, 2009):

Stimulus funding slots $615.8 million for rural water

More than 190 water and environmental projects are being funded in rural communities in 34 states through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the US Department of Agriculture announced April 28.

In addition to creating or saving 12,385 jobs in those towns, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said, "Aging water and waste infrastructure systems threaten the ability of rural communities to provide clean, reliable drinking water to residents and protect precious environmental resources."

Funding of individual recipients is contingent upon their meeting the terms of the loan or grant agreement.

USDA Rural Development's Water and Environmental Program provides loans and grants to ensure that the necessary investments are made in water and wastewater infrastructure to deliver safe drinking water and protect the environment in rural areas.

The City of Barry, IL and the City of Vienna, MO are both on the USDA-RD's list for funded projects, published April 28, 2009. The City of Barry will receive $747,000 for water storage and distribution system improvements. USDA-RD will contribute $2,149,100 to the City of Vienna to construct a new water treatment plant and other system improvements.
