Pennsylvania American Water to replace 550 lead service lines in New Castle
(UI) — On April 23, the Shapiro administration announced that Pennsylvania American Water has been awarded funding from the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) to support a lead service line replacement project in New Castle, Lawrence County.
“At Pennsylvania American Water, we strive to provide our customers with high-quality, reliable water services while also meeting environmental standards and regulations. We’re thankful to PENNVEST for approving this funding request that will support us in that mission,” said Pennsylvania American Water Vice President of Engineering Tony Nokovich.
The project will replace approximately 550 identified lead water service lines. Removing all leaded components will improve water quality for customers and aligns with regulatory initiatives and the company’s broader efforts to eliminate lead-containing lines from the public water supply.
“Since the inception of the State Revolving Fund, PENNVEST has approved in excess of $12.8 billion in clean water infrastructure projects,” said PENNVEST Executive Director Robert Boos. “The revolving nature of the fund has proven to be highly successful. As we move forward, our focus will remain on supporting projects that continue to innovate and foster collaboration, ensuring we deliver even greater results for our communities.”
