Maximum grants run around 3 110 dollars per household. The program, to be administered by the Department of Human Services, details and signup procedures are still to be determined. Anheuser Busch is sending about 7 000 cans of water to Iowa residents, distributed by Bemiss and Golden Eagle to Fayette County, Burlington, and Ottumwa.
