This month's question asks how small water systems can tap into stimulus package funds. These funds come from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the Economic Stimulus Act, that was signed into law by President Barack Obama on February 17, 2009. Funds are available until September 30, 2010, through various government agencies. The article lists the different government departments and agencies and how much each were allotted, and gives a website for all federal agencies that received stimulus package funds, the agencies' plans for using the funds, announcements for grant competitions, allocations of formula grants, and competitive grants awarded. The article provides pointers on applying for these funds.
