HARRISBURG – Sen. Jarrett Coleman (R-16) today announced residents in Telford Borough, West Rockhill Township and Hilltown Township will benefit from nearly $10 million in state funds that have been awarded to upgrade the Telford Borough Authority water treatment system.
“Clean drinking water is essential for families and these state dollars will ensure local families continue to have access to this basic life necessity,” Coleman said. “The state money will help pay for these upgrades without further burdening local ratepayers.”
New treatment structures will be installed in the system’s drinking water wells. The wells are located in Telford Borough, West Rockhill Township and Hilltown Township. Each will require the construction of a free-standing building or building addition at the well site to house the new treatment systems.
The provided state funding will not have to be repaid.
Funding for the project is being provided through the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST). PENNVEST is an independent state agency that provides financial assistance for sewer, stormwater and drinking water projects in communities across the commonwealth.
