West Chester Gets $208K Grant To Improve Sewer Pipes

WEST CHESTER, PA — West Chester will receive a grant to rehabilitate its sanitary sewer pipe system, local officials announced Tuesday.

The funding totals $208,500, State Sen. Andy Dinniman (D-Chester) said.

“Access to clean water and safe water treatment systems is vital to the health and quality of life in our communities. These funds will help local municipalities provide necessary water and sewer infrastructure upgrades,” Dinniman said in a statement. “The improvements mean more efficient, more reliable, and more secure water systems for local residents and families.”

The funds come from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection through the Small Water and Sewer Grant Program.

West Chester's funding is part of $1.9 million in grants disbursed to other Chester County municipalities, including nearby Phoenixville and Tredyffrin.
