Governor Morrisey Announces $4.43 Million Investment to Modernize Moundsville Wastewater Infrastructure
West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey announced a $4.43 million investment from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund to modernize Moundsville's aging wastewater system. The project aims to prevent untreated wastewater from overflowing into local creeks and the Ohio River during heavy rain events.
The funding is part of a state-led initiative to provide low-cost financing and grants to municipalities for critical infrastructure upgrades. The current system has struggled with capacity issues, where stormwater infiltration frequently overloads main lines.
By modernizing the infrastructure, the city expects to improve environmental compliance and protect local water bodies. This project is a key component of the state's broader commitment to strengthening public utility reliability for its residents.
