Representative Bresnahan Secures $1 Million for Dallas Area Wastewater Infrastructure Expansion
Federal appropriations secured by U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan will provide $1 million to the Dallas Area Municipal Authority in Pennsylvania. The funding supports comprehensive sewer system expansions and resilience upgrades.
Representative Rob Bresnahan announced $1,000,000 in federal community project funding secured for the Dallas Area Municipal Authority (DAMA) in northeastern Pennsylvania. The federal investment is aimed at addressing aging infrastructure, system reliability, and localized capacity bottlenecks across regional wastewater networks.
The award will assist DAMA in conducting critical conveyance improvements and expanding wastewater capacity to protect nearby water bodies. Utility officials highlighted that federal assistance has become crucial for smaller municipal authorites facing significant capital improvement demands without overburdening ratepayer bases.
The project is part of a broader suite of fiscal year 2026 community investments secured by Bresnahan for regional municipal improvements, complementing broader federal initiatives under the Water Resources Development Act of 2026 to strengthen flood and wastewater systems.
