Deluzio | D000530 | deluzio.house.gov | deluzio | https://deluzio.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | CARNEGIE, PA — Today, Congressman Chris Deluzio (PA-17) announced that Shaler Township, a community in Pennsylvania’s 17th Congressional District, is receiving $4.3 million in a federal investment for water infrastructure improvements. Specifically, the project will replace defective infrastructure in the Township’s public sewer system through PENNVEST low-interest financial assistance loans. “It’s simple: the good people of Shaler Township need a dependable water system. I’m proud to see these federal dollars come home to make sure Shaler’s water is safe,” said Rep. Chris Deluzio. “I came to Congress to make life better for folks in Western PA, and fixing our infrastructure—like this project funded through the Infrastructure Law—is a big part of that work.” The project will repair 30,000 feet of defective sewer lines, rehabilitate 177 manholes through direct excavation and in situ lining, and install 29 new manhole structures. This project will help Shaler Township meet water safety standards, as it pulls the Township into compliance with the infiltration and inflow Consent Order with the Allegheny County Health Department. The federal funding for this project comes from the Biden-Harris Administration’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and is awarded to Shaler Township through PENNVEST, a Pennsylvania State financing authority. The authority provides low-cost financial assistance to address water, wastewater, stormwater, and non-point source pollution problems in local water systems that impact public health, safety, the environment, regulatory compliance, and economic development. PENNVEST’s two-part goal is to provide all Pennsylvanians access to clean water while also supporting the Commonwealth's economic development. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z |
