(ATLANTA - August 18, 2010) On Friday, August 20, 2010, E.P.A. (EPA) Acting Regional Administrator Stan Meiburg will join state and local officials in Raleigh, North Carolina to recognize the city's Water Re-use green infrastructure project. The project, estimated to cost approximately $465,735, is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment (ARRA), through the State Revolving Fund.
E.P.A. will recognize Raleigh's use of ARRA funds for its water re-use plan which consists of rainwater harvesting/reuse at eleven fire stations. The collected water will be used for irrigation and vehicle washing. This system reduces demand on Raleigh's drinking water supply, promotes water conservation, decreases stormwater runoff, reduces water pollution, and serves as an educational tool for the community on the possibilities of rainwater harvesting.
WHO: Stan Meiburg, Acting Regional Administrator, E.P.A. Region 4; Dee Freeman, Secretary, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources; Charles Meeker, Mayor, city of Raleigh, and Rusty Styons, Assistant Fire Chief
