Pennsylvania Water Awards Grants for Local Watershed Projects

Pennsylvania American Water has awarded financial support to seven watershed initiatives across the state through the company’s 2015 Environmental Grant Program. The recipients will receive a share of grant funds totaling nearly $35,000 for their community-based projects that improve, restore or protect watersheds.A panel of judges selected the grant recipients from nearly 40 applications, which were evaluated on such criteria as environmental need, innovation, community engagement and sustainability.“We are pleased and inspired by the organizations’ commitment to environmental stewardship and how the winning projects will generate enthusiasm and volunteerism in our communities,” says Kathy L. Pape, president, Pennsylvania American Water.The
