On April 30, the PA Infrastructure Investment Authority announced it has scheduled four virtual public meetings on how PennVEST funding can help improve water quality in your community.

The meetings are for municipal officials, conservation districts, private landowners, authority board members and staff, regulators, engineers, and others interested in water quality improvement funding.

Learn about funding levels, sources of funding, timelines and meeting cut off dates, regulation updates, and how to develop a PennVEST project.

PennVEST staff will also go over new initiatives: small projects funding, and programmatic financing, the local sub-revolving loan program, and the Center for Water Quality Excellence in Lancaster and York counties.

Special funding will be available for lead line replacement, and for testing lead in drinking water in schools and child care programs.

The meetings will be held--

-- May 13: 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

-- May 19: 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

-- May 26: 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

-- June 2: 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
