Here are lists of projects that got stimulus money in New York, for example: Sewer projects: http://www.nysefc.org/home/index.asp?page=755 Drinking water projects: http://www.nysefc.org/home/index.asp?page=1015 Jim, your best bet is to check the website of whichever agency handles the State Revolving Fund in each state.

Consider the following. Waterborne disease is not restricted to developing countries. Morris and Levine (1995) attempted to estimate the annual waterborne disease burden in the United States of America and indicated that 560 000 people may suffer from a moderate to severe waterborne infection and that 7.1 million suffer from a mild to moderate waterborne infection each year. Patterns of infection change over time and public health authorities can be been faced with newly discovered or emerging pathogens that may be able to overcome the many barriers of the water treatment and distribution systems (CDR, 1998). There are more than 140 known microorganisms recognized as waterborne or water-based pathogens. The waterborne and water-based pathogens have emerged as important to health care because of the increase in the size of sensitive populations in the US which now comprise 25% of the population.
