LANDIS SEWERAGE AUTHORITY CIPP REHAB

The Landis Sewerage Authority recently closed on a $1.8 million loan through the New Jersey Water Bank to address infiltration and inflow (I/I) and improve the structural integrity of sanitary sewer infrastructure throughout its service area. 

Because the Authority qualifies under the New Jersey Water Bank's affordability criteria and the project advances important clean water objectives, it is expected to receive principal forgiveness equal to the full loan amount at long-term closing, if awarded as anticipated. This would substantially reduce the financial burden on the community.

The project will rehabilitate approximately one mile of sanitary sewer mains ranging from 8 to 48 inches in diameter. In addition, the Authority will complete electrical upgrades at its wastewater treatment plant and purchase a backup generator to enhance system reliability and resiliency.

Reducing infiltration and inflow helps lower wastewater treatment costs by minimizing the volume of stormwater and groundwater entering the sewer system. These improvements will also help prevent the exfiltration of wastewater into surrounding groundwater, protecting both public health and the environment.

By investing in critical infrastructure upgrades, the Landis Sewerage Authority is strengthening the long-term performance, efficiency, and resilience of its wastewater system.
