GLENOLDEN, Nov. 19 – State Rep. David Delloso, D-Delaware, today announced a $50,000 grant has been awarded to Glenolden Borough for a storm sewer pipe project. Delloso says the funds will go to redirecting storm water into a bioswale and a 400-foot streambank in Glenolden Community Park. The project would improve the land and aquatic habitats along the Muckinipates Creek while also reconnecting the creek to the floodplain. “Glenolden Borough’s plan to improve the watershed in the area of the Glenolden Community Park is a terrific investment in keeping Pennsylvania’s wilderness beautiful,” Delloso said. “The Muckinipates Creek is a beautiful feature of the park and this project will help keep it that way.” The grant is being awarded through the Commonwealth Financing Authority’s Watershed Restoration Protection Program – part of the CFA Act 13 grant programs – which provides funding to projects aiming to improve water quality, greenways and recreational areas. For more information on the Commonwealth Financing Authority Act 13 grants, visit the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development website . Read more

As winter approaches and we prepare to spend even more time indoors, utility bills are only going to get more expensive. Additionally, we know that the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn have made it difficult for many to keep up with home energy bills. No Pennsylvanian should ever have to worry that their heat will be shut off during the coldest and darkest months of the year. The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a federally funded program administered by the Department of Human Services (DHS) that provides assistance for home heating bills so Pennsylvanians can stay warm and safe during the winter months. Assistance is available for both renters and homeowners. LIHEAP helps some of the commonwealth’s most vulnerable citizens — children, older Pennsylvanians, people with disabilities, and low-income families — make ends meet. Anyone who may need help, or anyone who has loved ones or neighbors who could benefit from this program, is encouraged to apply for LIHEAP today. APPLY FOR LIHEAP LIHEAP FACTS How do I apply for LIHEAP? Depending on preference, different options are available to apply for LIHEAP: Apply online: Pennsylvanians can apply at www.compass.state.pa.us . Paper applications: Call the LIHEAP Helpline at 1-866-857-7095 to request a paper application. Paper applications can also be downloaded from the DHS LIHEAP web page .

In late August, I asked the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission to reject Aqua Pennsylvania's petition for a rate increase…one that would hike residents’ water bills by 17% and sewer bills by 33% beginning in March of next year. I am happy to report that the PUC voted last week to suspend its vote on the petition and will further investigate the issue. Read more
