Several Central Bucks communities are set to receive state funding for water system upgrades and transportation improvements as part of a larger package of infrastructure grants announced by Sen. Steve Santarsiero and area state representatives.
In Doylestown Borough, two water system projects were awarded funding, including $185,407 for water main replacement work and $500,000 to rehabilitate the borough’s Spruce Street water storage tank. The projects are aimed at maintaining reliable drinking water service and modernizing aging infrastructure.
The North Wales Water Authority also received $412,515 for an interconnection project tied to its Solebury satellite systems, a move expected to strengthen system reliability and regional water service coordination.
Roadway and pedestrian improvements are also planned in New Britain Borough, where $850,000 was awarded for work along Butler Avenue and Iron Hill Road. The project includes roadway widening, new sidewalks and intersection upgrades designed to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety.
In addition, the Chalfont–New Britain Township Joint Sewage Authority secured $224,273 for pump station upgrades that will modernize monitoring systems and improve emergency response capabilities within the wastewater system.
State officials said the funding supports long-term infrastructure reliability, public health protections and safer travel through local communities. The grants are part of Pennsylvania programs focused on water, sewer and multimodal transportation improvements. More details on the funding programs are available through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.
