Sunbury council backs pursuit of $4.2 million USDA grant for 'Susquehanna 2' sewer-storm separation
Summary
Council members supported moving forward with a $4.2 million USDA grant application aimed at separating stormwater and sewer flows in the Susquehanna 2 project area; if funded, work could start this year and take about two years to complete.
Sunbury City Council signaled support for pursuing a $4.2 million U.S. Department of Agriculture grant to fund the 'Susquehanna 2' project, which would separate stormwater and sanitary sewer flow in a targeted service area.
A city presenter described the proposal as designed to keep millions of gallons that now flow to the wastewater plant from entering the system by separating storm and sanitary flows. The presenter said the project has been coordinated with Representative Dan Muser and would, if funded, begin this year and take about two years to complete.
Councilmember Kevin moved that the city endorse advancing the grant application; the motion received a second and the council recorded multiple 'Yes' votes.
Next steps: staff will proceed with grant application tasks, secure required documents and return to council as the application progresses and if funding is awarded.
