Port Royal is seeing some major upgrades at its wastewater treatment plant, thanks to a $4 million project aimed at modernizing the facility. Key improvements include enhancing the pump station to eliminate overflows and implementing a new ultraviolet light disinfection system, replacing the traditional chlorine method. The change promises cleaner water for the Juniata River while minimizing environmental risks. Funding for the project comes from a combination of state and federal resources, including a low-interest loan and a grant from the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority.
