4 issues in water utilities
Arnot water plant generator
A $49,832 Act 13 grant buys a new generator for the Arnot water plant pump house, keeping water service running during power outages.
Nelson Township water system upgrade
This year's ~$250,000 CDBG entitlement money would replace two 45-year-old generators and upgrade filtration at Nelson Township's water treatment plant, which barely kept up during Debby flooding.
Lawrence Township sewer plant upgrade application
The nearly 30-year-old Lawrence Township sewer plant needs renovation just as Victaulic expands its foundry nearby — an expansion tied to roughly 200 manufacturing jobs. The county committed $250,000 in Act 13 money to get the Act 537 plan redesign started.
Hamilton Township water line replacement
The county got a partial CDBG award to fix Hamilton Township's leaking water lines and is applying for competitive CDBG funds to finish the whole system, which loses a lot of treated water. Total project is just under $500,000.
