The US Conference of Mayors, a national organization, has urged Congress to consider a long list of ready-to-go projects in the new economic recovery package that is being developed. The Mayors said to Capitol Hill, that we need to fix our ailing sewer systems – to the tune of about $15 billion for waste water projects – to save and restore our vast seas, to save and restore our vast seas. Cities end up paying the lion’s share of upkeep and maintainance of the sewer systems. The Mayors have joined the state legislatures, Governors and HOW in recommending these projects to create jobs and generate an economic recovery. Will they listen to what we say? The sewers, the sewers fix them right away and the jobs they create will save our lakes today, save our lakes before it’s to late.
