Chetwynd Road To Be Affected By Willistown Water Main Work

WILLISTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — Water mains will be replaced on a portion of Chetwynd Road in Willistown Township beginning in the new year, according to the township.

Aqua PA will be replacing 200 feet of water mains along Chetwynd Road in Willistown starting Thursday, Jan. 2.

Work on Chetwynd Road will take place between Chetwynd Circle and Wistar Road.

Construction will typically take place weekdays between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Access will be provided for emergency, mail and trash services and residents will have access to their properties, but at times crews will need to enter from different directions due to changing work zones.

The work is expected to be completed in January.

Following the installation of the new water main, there will be a period of time during which the main will be chlorinated and tested before being put into service.

Activity on the job site will be limited during this phase. Once testing has been completed, we will transfer each water service and any fire hydrants onto the new main, then make the final connections on the side streets and abandon the old main.

It is important to note that the trench will be covered with temporary black top at the end of each work day.

Aqua said it will notify customers 24 hours in advance of any scheduled shutdown, however, as with any construction project, an emergency shutdown might be necessary. If so, Aqua will restore service as soon as possible.
