Plumstead To Benefit From $4.4M Water Treatment Project In Doylestown

PLUMSTEAD TOWNSHIP, PA — A $4.41 million grant awarded to Doylestown Township for a well treatment project will benefit the residents of Plumstead Township with cleaner drinking water.

The Pennvest grant was announced by State Rep. Shelby Labs, who represents Plumstead, and by State Senator Steve Santarsiero and State Rep. Tim Brennan, who represent Doylestown. PENNVEST funding specifically serves projects in Pennsylvania that focus on sewer, stormwater and drinking water projects.

“I was proud to support this project, which will provide enhanced water filtration to residents of Plumstead Township and the surrounding community,” said Labs. “Improvements to these systems ensure residents continue to have access to clean water.”

The project will construct a centrally located treatment system for two wells, which are both located in the Doylestown Hunt neighborhood. The treatment building will contain two greensand filters for removal of manganese, two granular activated carbon filter vessels for removal of PFOA/PFOS, as well as new chlorination and polyphosphate equipment.
