SELINSGROVE -- Two area wastewater treatment plants will receive part of a $6.2 million state grant, according to a news release from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development in the form of Community Development Block Grant funding.
Penns Creek Municipal Authority Wastewater Treatment Plant in Snyder County will receive $328,076 to mitigate noncompliant discharges, the news release states
In Centre County, the Eagle Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant will receive $1,235,000 to install a two-inch force main from the existing grinder pump that will terminate at and connect to a Mid-Centre County Authority manhole on Main Street in Unionville Borough. The sewage will be connected to a conveyance to the nearby Mid-Centre County Authority municipal system.
Other statewide improvements include:
Clarion County:
• $1,807,800 to support the Lake Lucy Sewage Authority Connection Installation Project, which includes construction of pump stations and replacing the four-inch force main from the North Clarion High School along state Route 36 to eight-inch gravity sewers.
Northumberland County:
• $1,000,000 for the City of Sunbury to support phase two of the Susquehanna Avenue Stormwater and Sewer Separation Project. Sunbury will collect sewage from the side streets to the west and redirect it to the Susquehanna Avenue main collector. The sewer main will tie into the Reagan Street sewer main and be directed to the south pumping station. New laterals with cleanouts at the curb will also be constructed. After the underground work is completed, the streets and sidewalks will be rebuilt.
Somerset County:
• $1,842,654 to replace approximately 5,300 feet of water main, as well as install meters and meter pits at each service connection. A mainline interconnect will be established between Hooversville Borough and Wilbur, with additional waterline extensions beyond the village.
