WEST VIEW, Oct. 16 – State Rep. Emily Kinkead announced today that a total of $8,780,300 was awarded to the West View Water Authority for new service lines and related infrastructure.
The funds, consisting of a $5,635,872 grant and a $3,144,428 low-interest loan, will replace 750 existing lead service lines with approximately 25,000 feet of copper line and companion structures. Surface restoration will also be performed.
“I commend West View Water Authority's aggressively proactive efforts to replace dangerous lead service lines across their service area. Access to pure water is a constitutional right in Pennsylvania,” said Kinkead, D-Allegheny. “I’m thankful for my partnership with Sen. Lindsey Williams on this investment in the health and well-being of folks in District 20 and beyond.”
West View Water Authority’s dollars will benefit 55,474 customers and a total population of 151,000.
The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority allotted these monies as part of its ongoing mission to increase the health and safety of Commonwealth citizens, protect the environment, promote economic development, and improve water quality.
