HARRISBURG – Rep. Jeff C. Wheeland (R-Lycoming) and Sen. Gene Yaw (R-Bradford/Lycoming/Sullivan/Susquehanna/Union) today announced approval of a PENNVEST grant of $622,175 to aid in storm water management in Old Lycoming Township.
The grant will support the purchase of a water recycling jet vacuum truck to remove sediment from the storm water system in the township.
Yaw said the effects of storm water management extend beyond just the township.
PENNVEST is a program created by the Legislature to assist with funding sewer, storm water and drinking water projects throughout the Commonwealth. These projects not only contribute to improving Pennsylvania's environment and the health of its people, but also provide opportunities for economic growth and jobs for Pennsylvania's workers.
