On Monday August 7, 2023, Aqua Pennsylvania will begin installation of a new 8-inch ductile iron water main on GRUBBS MILL ROAD between DARBY PAOLI ROAD and INVERNESS LANE.
The $326,000 project is part of our continuing infrastructure improvement program that replaced more than 12 miles of aging main in Chester 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 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM. 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 may be limited. It is important to note the trench will be covered with temporary blacktop at the end of each workday. Permanent restoration will take place in the summer of 2023.
We 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.
In addition to reaching our customer service staff and emergency dispatcher at the number listed on the doorhanger accompanying this letter, you may also call us with any questions regarding the project at 610-430-0747.
Sincerely,
