Rockville Water Treatment Plant Considered for Federal Stimulus Funds
Rockville, Md., March 24, 2009 - The State of Maryland Department of the Environment has recommended to the federal Environmental Protection Agency that Rockville receive a $1,309,500 grant of federal stimulus funds for a Water Treatment Plant Energy Conservation Improvements and Rehabilitation Project.
The project would improve energy conservation and rehabilitate aging components at the City's water treatment plant, constructed in 1958. Rockville's water treatment plant is one piece of a comprehensive water distribution system that provides clean and safe drinking water to more than 45,000 residents.
Funding would come from the State of Maryland's portion of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which includes funding for environmental and infrastructure improvement projects.
