Minnesota will see 107 million dollars of federal stimulus money for projects using American-made products that help drinking and wastewater.News 12's Erick Lind found two communities in Brown County that are looking forward to the help.Essig resident Lois Berg says, "I'm hoping this stimulus money will help usout so we can get going. I feel we're just as entitled as anyone else."Lois Berg has lived in or near Essig her entire life.That whole time she's only had a septic system.That is going to change to a sewer system thanks to a project that has been in the works for the last four years.That is primarily because the federal stimulus money the state received will help fund the one million dollar project.Senator Dennis Frederickson says, "Federal instructions are, when they are shovel ready, we are to fund them in the order that they are applied for to our public facilities agency."When the system is put in, it will follow 5 miles down this railroad line to Sleepy Eye, which just happens to be in line for funding as well.Sleepy Eye Public Works Director Bob Elston says, "We're getting good removal of that iron and those types of aesthetic contaminants, but we can do better, and we'll be able to do better with the new facility."Elston is speaking about a new water treatment facility.The city has been looking to update its old plant that was built in the 1960s.The city's growth has pushed the old facility to its limits.Elston doesn't know the exact amount they will receive, but knows the city is lucky it is ready to dig.Elston says, "Just happen to be ready to go this year, so that all timed out very well for us. That made us eligible for any stimulus money that will come through Minnesota."That will help cities like Essig get wastewater systems they may have never been able to build.Berg adds, "We were told to do it slow and do it right and we've made a few mistakes along the way, but it's finally coming together, and we're excited about that."In Brown County, Erick Lind, News 12.
