A steamy name deserves a nice pile of cash.

Midway, Utah-based 212 Resources, a water treatment company named after the temperature at which steam is made, received a $250 million credit facility from GE Energy Financial Services.

The company, which used to be called H2Oil Recovery Services, plans to use the capital to finance its water treatment technology, which uses vapor compression flash evaporation systems.

But that's not the only water company that got its hands on some funding this week, Stony Brook, N.Y.-based Stonybrook Purification and Petaluma, Calif.'s HydroPoint Data Systems also came up flush.

Stonybrook, which secured $500,000 of a $4.1 million Series A round, is a startup that uses nanofibrous membranes for liquid filtration.

HydroPoint took in a "material investment" from Sustainable Development Investments, a unit of Citigroup. The company markets a WeatherTRAK smart water management system for irrigation.
