Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has announced plans to invest $117 million in 25 drinking water, wastewater and non-point source projects across 19 counties through the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST). The projects will be funded through a combination of state funds.
In addition, PENNVEST will also address lead line replacements, using resources available under the U.S. Water Infrastructure Fund Transfer Act.
“This historic investment in Pennsylvania’s clean water and healthy communities serves as a fitting celebration of Earth Week, when our country celebrates advances in environmental protection and committed stewardship of our lands and waters,” said Gov. Wolf. “Not only do the awards made in our communities strengthen our clean water facilities, but they also address legacy contaminants like lead and PFAS, which should never endanger the welfare of our children and families.”
