Boston Globe: Massachusetts water infrastructure gets federal fund infusion

From Boston Globe:

The state's water processing plants and labyrinth of drinking water and sewage pipes are getting a $185 million upgrade from federal stimulus money, US Environmental Protection Agency chief Lisa Jackson announced today.  The federal money will be used for more than 127 ready-to-be constructed projects – from a sewer extension in Acton to a water main replacement in West Springfield – and will account for 8 to 14 percent of the projects' costs. The funds are designed to create jobs and fix aging infrastructure while improving public health and the environment.
