Permanent road restoration will take place in the spring.

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. 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 the side streets, the old main will be abandoned.

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 any questions. Residents can also call Aqua at 610-430-0747 with questions about the work.
