Drainage, Sewer Upgrades Approved In Lower Bucks Co.

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Two Lower Bucks County communities are getting state grants for drainage and sewer project upgrades.

Middletown and Lower Southampton townships will be getting funding secured by State Sen. Frank Farry (R-6), and State Reps. Kristin Marcell (R-178), K.C. Tomlinson (R-18), and Joe Hogan (R-142) for water infrastructure.

The funding, which comes from the Commonwealth Financing Authority’s (CFA) Multimodal Transportation Fund, supports projects that improve transportation infrastructure and foster economic growth across the Commonwealth.

The water infrastructure projects will improve stormwater management and sewer reliability, ensuring long-term sustainability for local communities.

“These projects are going to save the local taxpayer and ratepayer money while improving our critical sewer and stormwater infrastructure for safer and healthier communities," Hogan said.

Projects receiving funding through the CFA’s PA Small Water and Sewer Program include:

• Bucks County Water & Sewer Authority (BCWSA) – Emergency Backup Generator at the Forest Glen Pump Station #2 – $178,500
• Middletown Township – Richardson Avenue Drainage Project – $278,370
• Lower Southampton Township – Station 'C' Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation – $259,182

"I am committed to supporting the safety of our communities and am pleased we were able to secure the funding for these important projects that will create safer neighborhoods and improve the quality of life for our residents," Farry said.

The CFA is an independent agency of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development which administers Pennsylvania’s economic stimulus packages.
