ATLANTA (AP) -- Water and sewer infrastructure projects in seven
Georgia communities will receive help from $5.7 million in loans.

Five of the seven projects were funded all, or in part, with
federal stimulus dollars for a total of $3 million.

Gov. Sonny Perdue announced the loans on Tuesday. They were
approved by the board of the Georgia Environmental Facilities
Authority.

Perdue said investment in the state's water and sewer systems
stimulates the economy and promotes stewardship of the state's
natural resources.

The loans were approved for projects in Douglas Elbert Paulding
and Pickens counties as well the cities of Ila, Smithville and
Waycross.
