EPA Allocates $80 Million for Trenton Sewer System Improvements
The EPA has designated $80 million for Trenton, NJ, to upgrade its sewer system, targeting combined sewer overflow issues. This funding is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law aimed at enhancing water quality and public health.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is providing approximately $80 million for upgrades to Trenton's sewer infrastructure. This funding will focus on increasing wastewater treatment capacity and implementing green infrastructure solutions to mitigate combined sewer overflow (CSO) events.
The upgrades are anticipated to improve water quality in the Delaware River and its tributaries. The initiative is part of a broader effort under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which allocates funding for critical water infrastructure nationwide.
The project is expected to particularly benefit the East Trenton neighborhood, which has faced historic contamination issues. The upgrades are projected to be completed within several years, contributing to enhanced public health and environmental conditions.
