HARRISBURG, Pa. (WTAJ) — On Tuesday, Governor Tom Wolf announced 276 new PA Small Water and Sewer Program project approvals through the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) to protect and improve municipalities’ water systems.
This vital grant program allows for costly but necessary water infrastructure improvements that would otherwise be unfeasible to smaller Pennsylvania communities. When we invest in our communities now, they benefit for years to come, and today’s approved projects will significantly improve the quality of life in these communities.

• Replacement of the Troy Street water main in Bradford County
