Stimulus plan puts biggest construction shares into roads and schools, not water
February 16, 2009

The economic-stimulus package just approved by Congress (and slated for Presidential approval tomorrow) appears to contain about $40 million for water projects in Nebraska, a far smaller figure than the $235.6 million budgeted for highway construction. Iowa is scheduled to get about $78 million for water projects, compared to just over $358 million for highways. The total stimulus package involves $787 billion in new spending and tax cuts, which makes it the equivalent of about 30% of a normal Federal budget. We look forward to serving many of the municipal water and wastewater projects in Iowa and Nebraska over the coming months.
