Rouseville Borough will receive nearly $350,000 to replace water lines in the borough.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has approved a loan of $120,000 and a grant of $226,800 for the work. The funds were issued as part of the Agriculture Department’s Rural Development water and waste disposal program.
The proposed project consists of the installation of about 1,410 linear feet of new line from the corner of Mechanic and Short streets along Spring Street, Pisgah and Buchanan Street to the corner of Mitchell Avenue and Buchanan Street.
The proposed project will comply with current regulations set forth by the state Department of Environmental Protection and the Bureau of Safe Drinking Water.
“I’m pleased to see the Department of Agriculture working to ensure clean and reliable water systems in Venango County,” U.S. Sen. Bob Casey said as he announced the awarding of the money.
Rouseville Borough owns and operates a water system that provides service to about 523 residents.
