The pumps, meters and valves will be upgraded as well.

“Upgrading our community’s water services and facilities is essential to providing a safe area for all our citizens to thrive within the Mon Valley,” said Cook. “I am thrilled with PENNVEST’s continual investment into providing a safe and secure water distribution.”

Founded in 1988, PENNVEST provides grants and low-interest loans for design, engineering and construction of publicly and privately owned drinking water distribution and treatment facilities, as well as storm water and wastewater projects.
