Buffalo Township and Chicora to receive grant money for water system projects

The borough of Chicora and the Municipality Authority of Buffalo Township are each set to receive a chunk of the COVID-19 American Rescue Plan Act H2O PA grant money from the Commonwealth Financing Authority.

Chicora has been awarded $1.5 million to fund the replacement of existing water lines in the community, while Buffalo Township received $600,000, which will be used for the Route 228 West/Ekastown area water line extension project, according to the Authority.

In total, the state is awarding $105,600,000 to municipalities and boroughs throughout the commonwealth through these grants.

“These grants represent key investments in the future of these communities by protecting public health and ensuring a clean, reliable water supply for area residents,” state Rep. Marci Mustello, R-11th, said. “Our local officials in Buffalo Township and Chicora have done an excellent job in assessing the needs of these water systems and planning for improvements.”
