Aqua PA Investing $389k On Haverford Water Upgrades

HAVERFORD, PA – Aqua Pennsylvania is currently working on major projects on the Main Line, including a more than a quarter of a million dollars in work in Haverford Township, to improve water services around the Main Line.

Aqua PA crews are working on a $2.8 million infrastructure improvement project in Lower Merion, Radnor, and Haverford townships.

In Haverford, crews are working to complete a $398,000 project to replace existing 6-inch cast iron mains with 1,786 feet of 8-inch ductile iron mains. Work will take place on the following streets:

• Bon Air Road between Central and Grand avenues
• Central Avenue between Fairview Avenue and Bon Air Road

Crews have also begun work on a $570,000 project to replace existing 6-inch cast iron water main with the installation of 2,080 feet of 8-inch and 600 feet of 6-inch ductile iron pipe in Radnor and Haverford townships. With project completion expected in December, work will take place on the following streets:

• Wooten Road between Bryn Mawr Avenue and the 900 block of Wooten Road
• Westview Road between Highland Lane and end of the cul-de-sac

Each of these projects will increase service reliability, reduce the potential for discolored water and improve firefighting capabilities in the area.
