$1M In Grants For Warminster, Ivyland Water System Upgrades

WARMINSTER, PA —Warminster and Ivyland is receiving state grants for water and sewer system improvements.

State Sen. Frank Farry and state Rep. Brian Munroe announced that the state has awarded more than $1.4 million for three water and sewer projects in Bucks County, funded through the Commonwealth Financing Agency.

Under the H2O PA grant, the Warminster Township Municipal Authority will receive $912,000 for construction to retrofit the Tennyson and Whittier basins.

In addition, the North Wales Water Authority and Ivyland Borough will receive $120,400 and $422,301, respectively, through the PA Small Water and Sewer grant program.

Ivyland will use its grant to help fund the Greeley Avenue Storm Sewer project.

The North Wales Water Authority will use the funds to install a permanent backup generator at their disaster recovery facility in Warrington Township.

“Proper storm and sewer management systems improve our local economy, our health, and our quality of life,” Munroe said. “I am happy to see these worthy projects receive state funding.”

“I am proud that we’re partnering with our local communities and their authorities on these worthwhile projects," Farry said. "The approved funding will enhance our infrastructure’s reliability and support necessary project upgrades.”

The H2O Grant provides for single-year and multi-year grants for the construction of drinking water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer projects; the construction or renovation of flood control projects; and the repair or rehabilitation of high-hazard unsafe dams.

The Small Water and Sewer program funds activities to assist with the construction, improvement, expansion, rehabilitation or repair of a water supply system, sanitary sewer system, storm sewer system, or flood control projects.
