News from Plum Borough

The Plum Borough Municipal Authority has received an EPA Grant in the amount of $800,000.00. This money must be spent on construction projects that will contribute to a reduction of combined sewer overflows (CSO). Plum Borough's system does not include any CSO's, however the systems in both the Mark Haven area and the Logans Ferry area connect to systems that do contain CSO's.

The Authority plans to spend $233,460.00 of these grant funds in the Logans Ferry area of the Borough. With these funds, 1,025 feet of new eight-inch PVC pipe, eight manholes, and 1,200 feet of six-inch private lateral pipe will be installed.

This work could be started by September 2010 with completion by November. This work will take place in and around Oak Way, Linden Way, State Street, and Dombroski Avenue. Residents of the Logans Ferry area of Plum Borough should continue to visit this site to receive periodic updates regarding the progress of this project.
