Federal aid for cleanup boosts municipal water programs
New federal data show under 675 of 4,500 polluting industrial firms missed last summer's cleanup deadline while about two thirds of 4,300 cities continue installing treatment. Major cities like New York Los Angeles and Detroit are named offenders. Congress provides nearly 25 billion in federal funds for municipalities over five years with a 25 percent local match and a new federal guaranty for borrowing that share. Water pollution equipment makers including Fischer Porter Ecodyne Envirotech Dorr-Oliver General Signal Neptune Rexnord and Peabody expect 6 to 7 billion dollars in municipal orders for pumps aerators filters and tanks in coming years.
