Norwich Township Gets $1 Million
Four municipalities in the 25th district have been awarded more than $20 million in grants and low interest loans to complete major wastewater treatment improvement and sewer upgrade projects that will protect local water supplies, according to Senator Joe Scarnati.
Scarnati said the money was awarded through the state’s PENNVEST Program and the federal stimulus program. The following municipalities received funding:
Norwich Township – $1.01 million grant and $2.03 million loan to build a 75,000 foot sanitary sewer collection system and a 60,000 gallon-per-day wastewater treatment plant.
Galeton Borough Authority – $2.862 million grant for a sewer separation and rehabilitation project. The project will include the elimination of two combined sewer overflows, the reconstruction of two pump stations and construction or reconstruction of sewer lines.
Brookville Municipal Authority – $10.855 million grant for the construction of a new 1.5 million gallon-per-day membrane microfiltration regional water treatment facility that will serve not only Brookville Borough but the surrounding counties in Jefferson County.
Lawrence Township – $3.855 million loan to replace 25,740 feet of sanitary sewer collection lines and manholes.
Scarnati said the funding is vital to protecting the environment and aiding municipalities in completing projects that provide clean water and encourage local economic development.
“This funding is crucial to protecting our local water supplies and public health and ensuring that our streams are not polluted,” Scarnati said. “It will also help to promote growth in our area, create new jobs and encourage economic development.”
