Wastewater Treatment Agency Officials Urge House Leadership Support for Revolving Fund

摘要

Municipal wastewater treatment agencies are urging congressional leaders to support President Obama's $2.1 billion budget request for the clean water state revolving fund as Congress finalizes fiscal year 2011 appropriations.
