Rep. K.C. Tomlinson and Sen. Frank Farry have announced that Bensalem Township will receive a grant from the Pennsylvania Local Share Account (LSA) program for an odor scrubber replacement at the Totem Road Pump Station. The project, funded with $500,000, aims to replace the current chemical odor scrubber unit, which has reached the end of its life.

"This is excellent news for the Bensalem area," said Tomlinson. "Making sure that the current odor scrubber is replaced makes sure the pump station on Totem Road stays active and continues to treat wastewater properly."

Farry expressed satisfaction in securing funding for this essential project, stating: "This investment of a new odor scrubber will make sure their odor control system always remains operational."
