Pennsylvania receives $320 million to upgrade water, sewer systems statewide
(UI) – On Dec. 20th, Pennsylvania’s Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger announced 1,018 new project approvals through the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA,) totaling $335 million in grants.
The PA small water and sewer program includes 415 projects and $105,600,000 total funding. The program provides funding for construction, improvement, expansion, or rehabilitation/repair of a water supply system, sanitary sewer system, storm sewer system, or flood control projects.
The H2O PA – Water supply, sanitary sewer and storm water projects include 209 projects approved and $214,400,000 total funding. The program assists with the construction of drinking water, sanitary sewer and storm water projects.
The Construction Broadsheet reported projects will include water main replacements, pump station upgrades, stormwater improvements and sewer line rehabilitation.
The CFA was established in 2004 as an independent agency within the Department of Community and Economic Development to administer Pennsylvania’s economic stimulus packages. The CFA holds fiduciary responsibility over the funding of programs and investments in Pennsylvania’s economic growth.
“From making critical infrastructure improvements, to strengthening and enriching communities by supporting artists and cultural organizations hurt financially by the pandemic, these projects will enhance our economy and improve the quality of life for Pennsylvanians,” said Secretary Siger.
