DWSRF Project Being Considered:

Applicant:	Municipal Authority of the Borough of Bedford
County:	Bedford
Applicant Address:	244 West Penn Street Bedford, PA 15522-1226

 Project Description: The Municipal Authority of the Borough of Bedford (MABB) is undertaking a project to upgrade their existing water distribution system. Approximately 18,450 linear feet of antiquated waterline will be replaced with new 4-inch to 12-inch C900 polyvinyl chloride pipe. Fire hydrants will be added or replaced where appropriate. Service lines reconnecting the customer to the new line will also be installed. Most of the utility replacements are to occur within the Bedford Borough limits with the remainder occurring in Bedford Township.

 Problem Description: The MABB's drinking water system is old, antiquated and leaking. Some sections of transite or asbestos-cement pipe and cast-iron pipe were installed prior to 1961 while others were installed between 1961—1989. The MABB averages an unaccounted-for-water usage of about 163,000 gallons per day since 2013.
