Two infrastructure projects in Pennsylvania’s 100th District have been awarded funding through the Department of Community and Economic Development’s Small Water and Sewer program, according to Rep. Bryan Cutler (R-Peach Bottom).
The Christiana Borough Authority will receive $400,000 to construct a new water line within the borough. The project aims to eliminate two dead ends in the system, which currently affect water pressure, reduce fire flow, and accelerate corrosion. By removing these dead ends, the authority expects to mitigate disruptive events without impacting all customers in the service area.
Additionally, the Quarryville Borough Authority is set to receive $212,500 for a water main replacement. This project includes installing a new 8-inch water main beneath North Hess Street that will connect with an existing 10-inch main along the Enola Low Grade Trail. This looped connection is intended to improve water quality for customers on North Hess Street and strengthen the overall distribution system.
“With over $600,000 being invested in the 100th District, this is a good day for our community,” said Cutler. “Both projects will help water flow and pressure in both Christiana and Quarryville, improving the standard of living in both communities. I also want to thank Sen. Scott Martin, who supported both projects and was a great partner in helping secure this funding.”
DCED’s Small Water and Sewer grants support construction, improvement, expansion, or repair of water supply systems as well as sanitary sewer systems, storm sewer systems, or flood control projects.
