Dallas Area Municipal Authority Receives $1 Million for Wastewater Upgrades
U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan has secured $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.
In July 2026, Representative Rob Bresnahan announced that $1 million in federal appropriations had been secured for the Dallas Area Municipal Authority (DAMA) in Pennsylvania. This funding is designated for critical upgrades to the region's wastewater infrastructure.
The primary project involves the construction of a backup wastewater pipeline beneath the Susquehanna River. This secondary route is intended to ensure that wastewater continues to flow even if the primary line is damaged or requires maintenance.
This project is part of a broader regional effort to enhance infrastructure resilience. Rep. Bresnahan noted that this investment is one of several secured in the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations process to improve local utility systems and public services.
