WASHINGTON (EPA) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced Sept. 6 almost $1.5 million in funding to three universities to develop sustainable drinking water treatment methods.  The research grants are funded through EPA’s Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program. These grants, which supplement last year’s grants to eight other universities, are intended to provide innovative treatment methods to protect people’s health by keeping harmful contaminants out of drinking water.
