EPA backs Pennsylvania’s $141 million water quality improvement plan

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it has approved and helped fund a $141 million plan by Pennsylvania to implement 23 clean water infrastructure projects.
The Intended Use Plan includes an award of $52,518,000 from EPA’s FY 2017 Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). The plan by the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST), in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is also funded with $10,503,600 state match, repayments from prior CWSRF loans, and interest earnings on CWSRF investments.

“Rebuilding our nation’s water infrastructure is a top priority for President Trump and EPA because all Americans deserve clean water,” said EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt. “These strategic investments will yield real improvements in water quality for Pennsylvania communities.”
