New self-serve fuel pump to be installed at Rostraver Airport

By Mon Valley Independent

By STEPHEN HUBA

Pilots at Rostraver Airport will soon have an easier time refueling now that the Westmoreland County Airport Authority has approved replacement of the self-serve pump and software.

Airport authority members Tuesday awarded a contract to Purvis Brothers Inc. to install a new pump and software for $14,587, as well as a $2,650 annual maintenance agreement for five years.

Authority Executive Director Gabe Monzo said the current pump doesn’t work and the software is out of date. He could not say when the work will be done.

“I think it’s a good investment,” Monzo said. “It saves a lot of man-hours.”
