Governor Morrisey Announces $4.43 Million Investment for Moundsville Wastewater Infrastructure
West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey has committed $4.43 million from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund to modernize Moundsville's aging wastewater system. The project aims to prevent untreated wastewater from entering local waterways during heavy rain events.
The investment is designed to address long-standing issues where storm water overloads the city's aging underground pipes. This failure has historically forced untreated wastewater into Middle Grave Creek, Grave Creek, and the Ohio River.
By utilizing the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, the city will be able to perform critical upgrades to its collection system. This modernization is expected to improve environmental compliance and protect local families from the impacts of sewage overflows.
Governor Morrisey emphasized that the state is prioritizing infrastructure that safeguards public health and the environment. The project represents a significant step in the state's ongoing efforts to replace failing municipal systems.
