NO INCREASE IN RATES FOR 2025

At the December 9th meeting of the Authority Board, members voted to approve the $1.68 million budget with no increase in debt service or sewer usage rates. This budget will allow for continued improvements in our facilities and to offer reliable, safe services at a reasonable cost. We look forward to 2025, the many improvements that will be made within our system, and your continued trust & cooperation.

CICJSA receives Grant & Loan Funding

FUNDING UPDATE: July 17th the CICJSA was approved for a loan of $3.172 million for the rehabilitation project at the sewer plant. The increase was due to the project bids coming in higher than budgeted. The project is slated to begin September 30, 2024.

On December 19th, CICJSA was awarded $1.9 million from Commonwealth Financing Agency COVID-19 ARPA H20 PA that will be used for the rehabilitation project at the sewer plant and the infrastructure improvements for Cherry Run Road. On January 25th, PENNVEST awarded CICJSA a $2 million loan toward the rehabilitation project at the sewer plant. With both of these funding sources, the Authority will be able to pursue these construction projects. The sewer plant project is expected to go out to bid in Spring of 2024 with construction anticipated to begin in June 2024 and completion by June 2025. The infrastructure project Cherry Run Road will proceed upon receipt of required permits from the State.

We sincerely thank Senator Joe Pittman and Representative Jim Struzzi for their part in securing these two awards for CICJSA, Homer City Borough, and Center Township, and continuing to invest in Indiana County!
