Monroeville, PA, January 20, 2026– State Senator Nick Pisciottano (D-Allegheny) today announced $8,747,839 in awards through programs administered by the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA), including Small Water and Sewer (SWS) grants and Multimodal Transportation Fund (MTF) grants.
“These investments address essential infrastructure needs, including roads, water, and sewer systems that communities depend on every day,” said Senator Pisciottano. “By securing this funding, we’re helping municipalities make critical improvements that protect public health, improve safety, and strengthen our region for the long term.”
The Small Water and Sewer Program provides funding to municipalities and authorities for the repair, replacement, and improvement of drinking water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater systems. The program helps communities address aging infrastructure, reduce environmental and public health risks, and maintain reliable utility service for residents and businesses.
