The week of December 18, 2023 Aqua Pennsylvania will begin the replacement of 4,900 feet ductile iron water mains on Conestoga Road between County Line Road and South Lowrys Lane/Strathmore Drive in Radnor Township.

The $2,900,000 dollar project is part of Aqua's continuing infrastructure improvement program that replaced more than 34 miles of aging main in Delaware County in 2022 to improve service reliability for customers. The new water main will reduce the potential for main breaks, 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 may 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 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 will notify customers ahead of any planned water service interruptions and will provide 24 hours advance notice for any scheduled interruption greater than 30 minutes. Aqua will have an inspector on the job each day to answer your questions.

If you have any questions regarding the project, you can reach Aqua at 610-328-7713.
