Easton Suburban Water Authority Receives $5.2 Million State Loan

PENNVEST financing for pump station replacement, new mains

The Easton Suburban Water Authority will receive a $5.27 million state loan to upgrade its water system, according to Senator Bob Mensch (R-24). The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) approved the low-interest loan at its board meeting on Tuesday, March 23rd.

Easton Suburban will apply the financing toward the replacement of the Davis Street pump station and the replacement of 23,000 feet of deteriorated water mains.

"This low interest PENNVEST loan will help Easton Suburban Water Authority resolve serious water pressure issues," Senator Mensch said. "Once completed, these upgrades will eliminate water outages that have plagued the system in the past. That’s more than an inconvenience; it is a danger to public health and safety."
