Tomlinson, Farry, Announce Odor Fighting Grant for Pumping Station in Bensalem

Rep. K.C. Tomlinson (R-Bucks) and state Sen. Frank Farry (R-Bucks)  announced Tuesday Bensalem Township has received a grant from the Pennsylvania Local Share Account (LSA) program for an odor scrubber replacement.

This grant will fund the odor scrubber replacement project at the Totem Road Pump Station in Bensalem, which will replace the current chemical odor scrubber unit as the current scrubber has reached the end of its current life. $500,000 has been granted for this project. This will make sure foul odors from the facility will not escape into neighboring areas.

“This is excellent news for the Bensalem area,” said Tomlinson. “Making sure that the current odor scrubber is replaced makes sure the pump station on Totem Road stays active and continues to treat wastewater properly.”

“I’m pleased to have helped secure funding for this necessary project in Bensalem,” said Farry.  This investment of a new odor scrubber will make sure their odor control system always remains operational.”

The PA Race Horse Development and Gaming Act (Act 2004-71), as amended, provides for the distribution of gaming revenues through the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) to support projects in the public interest within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for these grants.
