safe drinking water act

USDA Rural Utilities Service Administrator Jonathan Adelstein joined USDA Rural Development Nebraska State Director Maxine Moul and staff in commemorating Earth Day last month with the residents of the City of Bayard, Nebraska.  The event celebrated the recent financing of a water improvement project that will serve the 1,200 residents of the city.

A water pipe was signed by each person instrumental to the project.  The city received a plaque from the administrator recognizing the awarding of funding from Rural Development.  Bayard school children participated in the event with a coloring contest and Earth Day readings.

USDA Rural Development Nebraska State Director Maxine Moul, staff and the residents of  Stromsburg celebrated the 40th anniversary of Earth Day recently with the announcement of more than $2.2 million in planned improvements to the City's municipal water system.  The improvements will bring the system, serving more than 500 users, into compliance with new Safe Drinking Water Act regulations.  Special recognition was given to those who were instrumental to the project as they each signed a segment of water pipe.
