Dallas Area Municipal Authority Receives $1 Million for Wastewater Expansion
U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan announced $1 million in federal funding for the Dallas Area Municipal Authority in Pennsylvania. The funds will support the construction of a backup wastewater pipeline beneath the Susquehanna River.
The Dallas Area Municipal Authority (DAMA) is set to receive $1 million in federal appropriations to enhance its wastewater infrastructure. The project involves building a secondary pipeline under the Susquehanna River to ensure service continuity if the primary line fails.
This project is part of a larger regional effort to improve the reliability of sewer systems in the area. Representative Bresnahan emphasized that such investments are critical for protecting public health and supporting local economic growth.
The funding was secured as part of the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations process. DAMA plans to use the capital to increase the resilience of its collection system against potential damage or service interruptions.
