The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) recently announced that five cities were awarded more than $41 million for various water projects. The cities include Bird Island, Clearwater, Cosmos, Grand Rapids, and Redwood Falls.
The money is from the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (PFA) and will be used for improvements to wastewater and drinking water systems.
Dan McElroy, PFA chair and commissioner of DEED, said via a press release, “These five projects further the state’s efforts to improve water quality in Minnesota communities.”
The awards, which range in size from $600,000 to $30 million, will be used for everything from replacing water mains to constructing a new wastewater treatment facility.
Efforts such as this one remind consumers of the aging of many of the nation’s water systems and the need for improvements—not only to replace outdated materials and systems but also to provide additional resources for a growing population. In addition, as new research reveals the importance of cleaner and more effective systems, project such as these will be required to satisfy public safety desires.
Oftentimes, however, improvements on a citywide or countywide level lag far behind what many consumers would like to see. In an effort to provide consumers with the latest and most effective water treatment technology, companies like WaterFilters.NET have stepped into the gap to help meet this need.
