HARRISBURG – Rep. Clint Owlett (R-Tioga/Bradford/Potter) today announced approval of state funding in the amount of $6.8 million for a wastewater treatment plant replacement project in Westfield Borough, Tioga County.
“These types of projects might not be glamorous, but they are essential to public health and safety,” said Owlett. “I am grateful Westfield was selected to receive this funding, which will help take some of the financial pressure off of local taxpayers.”
Funding will be awarded to the borough through a $2.9 million low-interest loan and a $3.9 million grant issued by PENNVEST.
Funding for the project will help cover costs for a new influent pump station, a mechanically cleaned influent screen, a bypassbar screen, an aerated grit removal system, an oxidation ditch, two secondary clarifiers, two sludge digestion tanks, a chemical feed system and a new chlorine disinfection system.
PENNVEST funds sewer, storm water and drinking water projects throughout the state. These projects not only contribute to improving Pennsylvania’s environment and the health of its people; they also provide opportunities for economic growth and jobs for Pennsylvania workers.

Another big multi-million dollar investment! Same as above this should help keep you in office....Joke! $900,000 to Galeton and the list goes on.
I hate how these poliicians try to take credit for these state grant programs that were put in place when they were still in diapers. That $900,000 for the Galeton mud pit is the biggest joke. And the joke is on YOU.
No the joke is on US! Actually, we agree and yet you are fighting with yourself
