systems in the States of Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and

supply, rural communities in these
states will not attract families and
businesses to return and invest in the
hurricane damaged communities.
The Rural Utilities Service (RUS)
supports the sound development of
rural communities and the growth of
our economy without endangering the
environment. RUS provides financial
and technical assistance to help
communities bring safe drinking water
and sanitary, environmentally sound
waste disposal facilities to rural
Americans in greatest need. The
additional funding for Water Resource
Studies will allow rural communities to
better plan and secure dependable water
supplies for rebuilding their
