Washington, DC – Congressman Leonard Boswell announced that the Department of Agriculture has extended a $2.9 million loan to the Poweshiek Water Association for water system improvements, which will be funded by last year’s Recovery Act.
“This loan is important to protecting the public health of rural communities in Iowa by improving local water quality and public sanitation services,” Boswell said. “Additionally, these dollars will fund 51 jobs in the state. The Recovery Act has continued to generate jobs and invest in communities large and small in Iowa.”
The Poweshiek Water Association serves more than 6,200 customers in 11 counties including Benton, Iowa, Jasper, Keokuk, Mahaska, Poweshiek, and Tama.
