Rep. Donna Scheuren of Montgomery has announced a significant financial investment for the Aqua Pennsylvania Superior Main Water Treatment Facility. The project will receive $9.5 million from PENNVEST, with $7,842,004 as a grant and $1,650,996 as a loan.
PENNVEST supports projects in Pennsylvania related to sewer, stormwater, and drinking water improvements. The funding is sourced from state and federal funds along with recycled loan repayments from prior PENNVEST awards.
“This is spectacular news for residents of the 147th District,” said Scheuren. “This funding will allow the Aqua Pennsylvania Superior Main Water Treatment Facility to complete a major project that will help improve drinking water quality throughout the area and help the current system run more efficiently.” She added that this initiative aims to ease the financial burden on residents by preventing costly projects from being passed onto them.
The project includes installing granular-activated carbon filter vessels for treating perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at three well treatment sites. It also involves replacing well pumps and setting up treatment vessels with heat-traced and insulated piping adjacent to existing facilities.
