Dubuque is doing some impressive work at its Water & Resource Recovery Center, and Lee Zeldin got a firsthand look at it yesterday! I helped secure $2 million in federal funding to help upgrade this facility, improve water treatment, & support local businesses that rely on it.
The facility even turns waste into energy, generating enough electricity to power roughly 360 homes. Making sure Iowa communities have clean, safe water is a top priority, & investments like this help us get there.
I also always appreciate working with Mayor Brad Cavanagh, who has been a great local partner, to advocate for Dubuque. Thanks to Administrator Zeldin for taking the time to hear from Iowans and to the entire team for showing us around!
Federal environmental leaders met with local officials in Dubuque on Monday to review water infrastructure needs as the city weighs long-term costs to comply with strict federal lead pipe replacement deadlines.
