Rep. Bud Cook announced that the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) has awarded a low-interest loan exceeding $4.1 million and an additional $400,000 grant to the Mid Mon-Valley Water Pollution Control Authority. The funding will be used to upgrade three pump stations operated by the authority. These upgrades will include demolishing existing control buildings and constructing new structures above the wet wells, incorporating valve and control rooms, as well as upgrading pumps, meters, and valves.
“Upgrading our community’s water services and facilities is essential to providing a safe area for all our citizens to thrive within the Mon Valley,” said Cook. “I am thrilled with PENNVEST’s continual investment into providing a safe and secure water distribution.”
PENNVEST was founded in 1988 to provide grants and low-interest loans for designing, engineering, and constructing both publicly and privately owned drinking water distribution and treatment facilities, along with stormwater and wastewater projects.
