Sen. Fontana Announces Over $3 million for Water & Sewer Projects

Allegheny County- January 20, 2026 - Today, State Senator Wayne Fontana announced grants totaling $3,032,811 were awarded to municipalities and public authorities in the 42nd Senatorial District.

"Clean water continues to be a priority of mine," said Sen. Fontana. "Much of the sewer and storm water infrastructure in our communities is over 100 years old and can too easily be overwhelmed, resulting in pollution of our streams and rivers. The projects this money will help fund will directly result in cleaner water and healthier waterways throughout Western Pennsylvania."

Grant awardees in the 42nd Senatorial District include:

  • Avalon Borough received $350,000 for sanitary sewer structural repairs.

The Pennsylvania General Assembly created the PA Small Water and Sewer Program in 2016 to provide municipalities and municipal authorities funding for water, sewer, storm water, and flood control projects that cost between $30,000 and $500,000. The program is administered by the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA).
