$899K Water Service Improvement Project Underway In Marple

MARPLE TOWNSHIP, PA — A Nearly $900,000 water infrastructure improvement project is underway in Marple Township, according to Aqua Pennsylvania.

Crews are working to replace 4,181 feet of aging 6-and 8-inch water mains in Marple to the tune of $899,000.

Work is being done on the following roads in Marple:

• Dogwood Lane between Media Line Road and Barclay Lane
• Barclay Lane between Heather Road and Gradyville Road
• Gradyville Road between Barclay Lane and Old Cedar Grove Road
• Old Cedar Grove Road between Kimberly Way and Gradyville Road
• Springton Lane between Gradyville Road and Springton Lane

Aqua said this work is expected to be completed by September.

This project is part of $7.9 million in infrastructure improvement projects that are underway in the county and seek to improve service reliability for customers in the region.

These projects are part of Aqua’s continuing infrastructure improvement program that replaced more than 45 miles of aging main in Delaware County in 2020 to improve service reliability for customers.

This year, Aqua expects to replace approximately 45 miles of main in Delaware County by year-end. The new water mains will reduce the potential for main breaks and discolored water and improve water flow in the area.
