Representative Bresnahan Announces $1 Million for Dallas Area Wastewater Infrastructure
U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan has secured $1 million in federal funding for the Dallas Area Municipal Authority (DAMA) in Pennsylvania. The funds will support the construction of a backup wastewater pipeline beneath the Susquehanna River.
The project is the first phase of a larger regional initiative to strengthen wastewater infrastructure and ensure service continuity. The new pipeline will provide a secondary route for wastewater, preventing potential service disruptions if the primary line is damaged.
This funding was secured through the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations process. Representative Bresnahan also expressed support for the bipartisan Water Resources Development Act of 2026, which aims to expand federal resources for community water systems.
The investment highlights the ongoing federal focus on improving the resilience of critical municipal infrastructure. DAMA officials stated that the project is essential for maintaining reliable service for the growing regional population.
