SCRANTON, PA — January 20, 2026 — State Senator Marty Flynn announced the approval of nearly $5.4 million in Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) Small Water and Sewer Program grants to support critical stormwater, sewer, and drainage improvement projects across Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties.
The Small Water and Sewer Program will provide funding for the construction, improvement, expansion, or rehabilitation of water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure, helping municipalities address aging systems and reduce flooding, backups, and environmental concerns.
“Water, sewer, and stormwater systems are not something people think about until there is a problem. I’m proud to support this funding, which will help reduce flooding, prevent future damage, and protect public health, while helping keep these systems operating safely and reliably,” said Senator Flynn.
