Staats Announces Major State Grant for Sellersville Sewer Project

September 18, 2018

HARRISBURG – Rep. Craig Staats (R-Bucks) today announced that the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA), through the Pennsylvania Small Water and Sewer Program, approved a $298,000 grant for sanitary sewer lines along Green Street in Sellersville Borough.

“I am happy to have played a role in securing this grant for Sellersville,” said Staats. “According to the CFA, the existing clay pipe sewer line on Green Street has experienced a number of failures and leaks, which, if left unfixed, could threaten public health and safety. This project will help alleviate those issues and ensure residents of a safer and more reliable system.”

The borough will use the grant to replace 1,250 linear feet of the clay pipe with 8-inch PVC pipe. The project will also include the installation of 53 service laterals and five precast concrete manholes along the project route. Total project cost is $351,000.
