Trump's border wall may strip money from a $65 million water treatment plant at a Marine Corps base
with a history of contaminated water
President Donald Trump's plans for the US-Mexico border barrier may tap into unawarded funds that could have gone towards a water treatment plant at Camp Lejeune, a base near North Carolina's coast that struggled with contaminated water for decades, according to a government analysis.
Over $65 million was tentatively allocated for the water treatment plant at Hadnot Point, a section of the military base that includes a medical clinic and various third-party stores, the Defense Department said in its proposal.
The project is expected to replace a water treatment plant with a 8-million-gallon-per-day water treatment facility that complies with safety regulations, according to US Navy budget estimates sent to Congress in 2017.
"This facility is required to provide an adequate and environmentally compliant supply of potable water to meet the domestic, industrial, and fire protection requirements of Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune," the Navy said.

money from them. Marines and their dependents were drinking dry cleaning fluid and jet fuel straight from their taps for decades on end in Lejeune, so what the hell do they care
TAKE THEIR MONEY, MOTHERFUCKER
