HARRISBURG – Sen. Doug Mastriano (R-33) today announced residents in Mercersburg Borough will benefit from $2 million in state funding to pay for the construction of a water treatment facility.
“These state dollars will ensure local residents are not burdened with the significant cost of this important project,” Mastriano said. “This water treatment facility will be an asset for our local community for years to come.”
The project includes the construction of a new water treatment facility, a 300,000-gallon water storage tank and a 500 gallon-per-minute pumping station.
Funding for the project is being provided in the form of a low-interest, 20-year loan. The loan carries a 1.74% interest rate for the first five years and rises to 2.18% for years six through 20.
Funding for the project is being provided through the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST). PENNVEST is an independent state agency that provides financial assistance for sewer, stormwater and drinking water projects in communities across the commonwealth.
