PITTSBURGH, Jan. 22 – State Rep. Aerion A. Abney, D-Allegheny, announced that over $26 million in state funds were awarded to the city of Pittsburgh to replace existing infrastructure and safeguard its drinking water supply.
The monies will be used to replace lead service lines in Homewood, Oakland, Garfield, Friendship, Lincon-Lemington-Belmar, South Side Slopes, central North Side, Marshall Shadeland, Mount Washington and Squirrel Hill. They are the combination of a nearly $13 million low-interest, long-term loan and a grant of more than $13 million from the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority.
“Safe drinking water must be accessible to all neighbors, regardless of income, social status or any other discriminatory factors,” Abney said. “Everyone deserves this necessity, and I’m proud to partner with Sen. Fontana to see it come to fruition and enhance the posterity of all Pennsylvanians.”
PENNVEST’s project in Pittsburgh will benefit nearly 1,700 residential customers.
