| June 23, 2005 - (Washington, D.C.) – U.S. Senator David Vitter announced that $250,000 in federal funding for the Union-Lincoln Regional Water Conservation Project was included in the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Bill, which passed out of the Appropriations Committee today. “I appreciate that my colleagues on the Appropriations Committee understand the importance of a fresh, clean water supply for north Louisiana,” said Vitter. The Union-Lincoln Regional Water Conservation project will help identify and develop and alternative water supply to abate the overtaxed usage of the Sparta Aquifer in north central Louisiana. “While this is only the first step in the legislative process, it is an important one for securing funding for the Union-Lincoln Regional Water Conservation Project,” Vitter said. “I will continue to work with my colleagues to see that this funding is included in the final bill.” The Senate Agriculture Appropriations Bill is expected to move to the Senate floor for a vote later this year. |
