Pennsylvania American Water has officially purchased the Elizabeth Borough Municipal Authority’s wastewater system assets for $28 million.
On Wednesday, PA American announced a deal had been signed to purchase the system, which serves approximately 2,200 customers within Elizabeth Borough, Elizabeth Township, Forward Township and portions of Lincoln Borough.
PA American President Justin Ladner said the company has been providing safe drinking water to area residents for decades.
“We are excited to be selected as the future wastewater provider to these Mon Valley communities,” Ladner said. “We look forward to adding these customers to the more than 96,000 households and businesses across the Commonwealth that already rely on Pennsylvania American Water to expertly operate, manage and invest in their wastewater systems.”
