Local agencies get sewer grants

HARRISBURG – Gov. Edward G. Rendell has announced the awarding of $2.2 million in sewage facilities enforcement grants to 281 local agencies to reimburse costs associated with permitting on-lot sewage systems during 2008.

Eleven municipalities are in Luzerne County and two are in Wyoming.

The annual grants are awarded through Act 537, the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act, which authorizes the state Department of Environmental Protection to reimburse local governments for a percentage of the annual costs incurred in assuring that new and repaired on-lot systems are properly sited, designed, permitted and inspected.
