The projects include replacing lead service lines, rehabilitating aging systems, upgrading service capabilities, and reducing environmental contaminants through compliance with current regulatory levels.
“PennVEST’s priority is making sure every dollar we invest turns into real, lasting benefits for Pennsylvania’s communities," said PennVEST Executive Director Robert Boos. “Clean water transforms lives and PennVEST continues its mission to expand our reach and deepen our impact."
PennVEST funding for water improvement projects originates from a combination of state funds approved by voters, Growing Greener funds, Marcellus Legacy funds, the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act, federal grant awards to PennVEST from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments, and recycled loan repayments from previous PennVEST funding awards.
