The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority should be reformed to address who can obtain loans and allow the agency to offer refinancing for local governments that originally used a private lending institution to fund their storm water management system, according to a memo issued by a local senator.

The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority, also known as PENNVEST, was created to offer low-interest loans to install, repair or provide maintenance to storm water management systems, wastewater treatment and collection systems or publicly and privately owned drinking water distribution and treatment facilities.
