Rural Sewage Treatment Falls Short of Clean Water Goals

Barry Ryan

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1988, vol. 04, issue 2

Abstract: To comply with clean water goals, rural areas need to build $20 billion worth of sewage treatment facilities by July 1 of this year. Communities not in compliance may be running out of luck in hoping for Federal help. Over the next decade, the Federal Government is turning over to State and local governments much of the responsibility for financing such facilities.
