Stimulus Spotlight
The town of Deaver, Wyoming received a grant from the federal stimulus funds for around $1.1 million. The project, replacing the town’s entire collection system, was badly needed because the old system was built with old clay pipe, which was deteriorating.
In Kennebunkport, Maine a 10,000-foot long water pipe replacement project is slated for this year. The Maine Drinking Water Program received four times the amount of money from the EPA this year because of the stimulus funds released. The $2 million-plus project will begin around March 1.
