The Bush Administration wants to spend $16 million on protecting the water supply, but the industry estimates it will cost several billion dollars to bury exposed mains and harden security around pumping stations, intake pipes and other critical parts of water-distribution systems. Fire fighters and other emergency units are receiving plenty of attention and money, Curtis points out.
