Aqua Pennsylvania will begin the replacement of 2,360 feet of aging 6-inch cast iron pipe with new 6-inch ductile iron water main on Inman Terrace from York Road to Frazier Avenue, starting on July 22nd, 2024, anticipated to be completed on or around December 30th, 2024.
The $633,941.28 project is part of our continuing infrastructure improvement program to ensure service reliability for customers. The new water main will reduce the potential for main breaks and discolored water and improve water flow in the area.
Construction will generally take place weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. During times of construction access will be provided for emergency, mail, and trash service. Residents will have access to their properties, but at times will need to enter from different directions due to changing work zones.
Following installation, the new main will be flushed, chlorinated, and tested for water quality before being placed into service. During the chlorination/testing phase, activity on the job site will be limited. Once the water quality testing has been completed, Aqua Pennsylvania will transfer each water service and fire hydrant to the new main. When all final connections are made to mains on side streets, the old main will abandoned. It is important to note the trench will be covered with temporary blacktop at the end of each workday.
Aqua Pennsylvania will notify customers ahead of any planned water service interruptions and will provide 48 hours advance notice for any scheduled interruption greater than 30 minutes.
