Gov. Tom Wolf announced that Pennsylvania has been awarded $240 million from President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help ensure Pennsylvanians have access to clean water.
The governor has prioritized both lead remediation and addressing emerging contaminants, such as PFAS. This new water infrastructure project funding will be administered by PENNVEST, which utilizes an affordability formula to ensure funding is prioritized to communities with the most significant needs and least capacity to finance needed repairs and upgrades.
