Agency chief Secretary Rita Landgraf tells WDEL Radio that the average age of the agency's buildings is more than 57 years old. So, she says, they require upkeep.
The department has five hospitals among its facilities.
Landgraf's capital funding request also includes about $2 million for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. That fund provides low-interest loans to community water systems.
