Stauber Secures Over $3 Million for Water Project in Buhl

Minnesota - Today, Congressman Stauber visited the City of Buhl’s Water Infrastructure Improvements Project, a project he secured funding for in the Fiscal Year 2024 federal spending package. Funding for this project will repair and refurbish the City of Buhl’s aging and deteriorating water storage system. This will safeguard the water supply for residents and attract future investment and development.

“The City of Buhl’s water tower proudly reads ‘Finest Water in America’ and we need to keep it that way. Yet water infrastructure in our rural communities across America is aging, limited in capacity, and deteriorating. If we do not repair and expand these systems, we will risk the safety and health of the public.

In Congress, I refuse to let Washington forget small town America. Through my advocacy, I was able to highlight the importance of projects, like the one in Buhl, and bring tax dollars back home for my constituents. I will always fight to secure funding for my district.”  

Background:

In March, Congressman Stauber secured $19 million in funding for projects across Minnesota’s Eight Congressional District in the first portion of the FY2024 appropriations package. This package included $3,048,000 for the City of Buhl’s Water Infrastructure Improvements Project, which will improve the tower and ground storage basin, install additional infrastructure piping and services for its municipal South Industrial Park, and bring new development of additional residential infrastructure and services.
