“To provide our water and wastewater utility members with the highest quality of leadership, representation, and support services.”

February 1, 2007

To Whom It May Concern:

I know that LRWA has contacted you before requesting your immediate assistance in writing letters to our federal legislatures from time to time, never before have we been in such urgency.  As you may or may not be aware, the majority of our programs are federally funded; which means if we lose funding, we lose programs and you lose our services beginning February 15, 2007.  We have been notified by National Rural Water DC office that our programs will be cut out of the budget.  We need you to write your Legislatures in DC urging them to write or call Stephen Johnson with the US EPA Headquarters to keep the Environmental Programs Management appropriations in the Joint Resolution to continue FY2007 funding.  We have compiled a sample letter for you to use for the proper wording and it wouldn’t hurt for you to add some additional information about how beneficial LRWA’s services have been to you.  We have enclosed a sample letter for your representative to write to EPA as well. Please take the time to re-type the enclosed letter(s) and either; call, fax, mail or email your District’s Representative as well as US EPA urging them to help out rural water.

 We need to urge our Congressmen and Senators to persuade EPA to continue funding by writing and calling the US EPA Headquarters; after all, they  do work for you. 

Enclosed you will find a copy of the “sample” letter as well as the contact information that is needed to contact your congressmen.  Again we appreciate your help in this matter and should you have any questions, please contact our office.  We would appreciate a copy of any correspondence or conversations you have with your Congressman regarding this matter. 

Sincerely, 

Pat Credeur and the Staff of LRWA
Executive Director
