The City of Lancaster Municipal Building received a $625,000 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 3 under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202), awarded June 1, 2025, with a completion date of December 31, 2026. This award funds implementation of the Combined Sewer Separation Project as directed in the 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act. The City will construct a separate storm sewer collection and conveyance system along the Water Street right-of-way corridor from Hazel Street to Fairview Avenue and along Hazel Street from Hillside Avenue to South Prince Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The project deliverables include construction of approximately 3,700 linear feet of new separate storm sewers with inlet laterals and associated collection structures to capture and convey stormwater runoff from approximately 38 acres of right-of-way and select non-right-of-way impervious areas. The system will incorporate reuse of 21 existing roadway catch basins and replacement of 6 catch basins, all connected to proposed storm sewer mains via stormwater lateral pipes. Upon completion of all three project phases, the new system will enable permanent separation of runoff flows from the existing Engleside Combined Sewer Basin. The anticipated outcomes include increased stormwater capture and reduced localized flooding for Lancaster residents. No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
