The Shamokin-Coal Township Joint Sewer Authority will receive $1.4 million in federal funding to upgrade its wastewater treatment system. The investment, part of the FY 2026 Appropriations Act, aims to modernize aging infrastructure, improve reliability, and protect water quality.

Key upgrades include replacing equipment in settling tanks and installing a new grit chamber. The project is essential for compliance with Pennsylvania environmental standards and is expected to stabilize sewer rates for local customers.
