LOWER BURRELL OFFICIALS PLAN TO BORROW $15.8 MILLION FOR SEWAGE AND WATER PROJECTS

Officials in Lower Burrell are planning to borrow $15.8 million to stop untreated sewage from spilling into an area creek and onto properties during heavy rainfall.  The Trib reports that the project will replace the sewage pump station at the foot of Edgecliff Road and the 50-year-old line that sewage is pumped to the treatment plant in New Kensington.  On April 29 council will meet to have a third reading of the ordinance that will move the project forward by approving $15.8 million in loans from PennVEST, the state financing agency for sewage and water projects.
