The EPA has decided to hand over $82 million in Recovery Act funds to Arizona for water projects that will hopefully create jobs, give a sugar shot to local economies, and update old water and wastewater infrastructure. It’s one small chunk of $6 billion dollars in funds that will go to water and wastewater infrastructure projects across the country through low-interest loans, principal forgiveness and grants. It’s a big push for more sustainable and energy efficient drinking water and wastewater systems, and in a state like Arizona that is dependent upon water routed from threatened rivers, sustainable and effective water systems are a must.
