                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 25, 2009

  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican standards 
on member requests, I am submitting the following information regarding 
congressionally directed appropriation projects I sponsored as part of 
H.R. 2847, FY 2010 Department of the Interior, Environment and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Bill.
  Agency/Account: U.S. EPA--State and Tribal Assistance Grant
  Amount: $439,065
  Requesting Entity: City of Petersburg, P.O. Box 326 Petersburg, Texas 
79250
  Funding will enable the city of Petersburg to continue supplying 
quality drinking water to its residents. The Texas Commission on 
Environmental Quality has ordered the city to replace one of its 
elevated water tanks or place it offline or the city will be forced to 
pay penalties and fines. Loss of a water tank will reduce the water 
supply, as well as drop the water pressure which is important for fire 
fighting. Without a stable water supply, the city of Petersburg will 
not be able to maintain economic growth. The total cost of this project 
is $798,300.
