More than $4.2 million in state financing will benefit drinking water projects in Knox, New Bethlehem and Rimersburg after funding for them was awarded Wednesday by the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PennVEST).
The projects include:
• Knox Borough -- $2.42 million will replace the joint pipe with 7,600 feet of eight-inch diameter plastic pipe. This will affect 106 service connections, seven hydrants and 34 main line water valves. This includes a $1.478 million grant and a $941,000 low-interest loan.
• Redbank Valley Municipal Authority -- $830,800 to replace more than 1,000 aged service meter connections. This will allow the authority to better track water usage, as the older meters are estimated to account for 25% of a significant water loss. This includes a $56,000 low-interest loan and a $774,431 grant.
• Rimersburg Borough -- Nearly $1 million to replace 1,900 feet of four-inch cast iron water mains with 8-inch and 12-inch plastic mains. This will include areas at the intersection of Chestnut and Cherry streets, extend into the intersection of Cherry Run and Main Street, continue to Main Street and Mill Alley and then connect to the intersections at Eccles and Lawsonham streets and Eccles Street and Mill Alley.More than $4.2 million in state financing will benefit drinking water projects in Knox, New Bethlehem and Rimersburg after funding for them was awarded Wednesday by the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PennVEST).

Pulling Her Way to Victory
NEW BETHLEHEM – What started as a longtime tradition of spectating in the stands has turned into a successful premier tractor pulling season for one New Bethlehem area woman.
“My grandpa and I have always had a love for watching tractor pulls at the local fairs each year,” said Kia Sage of Seminole. “It was a tradition we shared together.”
So it only seemed like a natural transition when Sage, with the help of her grandfather, found herself competing in several pulls this summer behind the wheel of her own mini-modified tractor.
