PUBLIC NOTICE, COOPERSBURG MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY,
2009 TRANSITE WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROGRAM

The Municipal Authority of the Borough of Coopersburg has filed an application for grant funding through the Commonwealths PA H20 Grant Program and PennVEST for a project to replace its outdated transite water pipes, approximately 10,200 linear feet, on the following streets: Fourth Street, Seventh Street, Eighth Street, Ninth Street, W. Station Ave., Willowbrook Road, Saucon Lane, Stopp Lane, W. Oxford Street and Hillside Drive.

If grant funding is approved, this $1.3M project may be under construction by the third quarter of 2009. User impact fees may be affected in the future to repay any non-grant funds. If the Authority receives a 50% grant, the payback on the remaining 50% of the required funds in the form of a 20 year loan would require rates to increase approximately 20-25% in the first year of the loan repayment. The supporting documents are available at Borough Hall, 5 N. Main Street, Coopersburg, PA 18036. Written comments from the public will be received until 3:00 PM prevailing time on April 10, 2009 at the same address, to the attention of Ed Gruver, Authority Chairman.
