Water Main Project To Last 5-7 Months In Warminster

WARMINSTER, PA —The Warminster Municipal Authority is starting a water main improvement project on Friday that is expected to last between five and seven months, officials said.

The WMA is starting the construction project as part of its capital improvement plan to proactively replace aging pipes, valves, and hydrants.

Construction is scheduled to begin on Prospect Road on Friday.

The hours of operation will be between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Because weather conditions play a significant factor in work progress, dates and times are subject to change.

The impacted streets will be in the Prospect Road and Speedway Area Streets: Aspen, Beech, Date, Elm, Evergreen from County Line to Grape, Grape, Juniper, Kalmia, Maple from Evergreen to Madison, and Nemoral from Sunnemeade Ave to Park, the WMA said.

The work process for water main installation starts with excavation and installation of the main, then filling and testing of the main, said Daulton George, the WMA's assistant manager.

After successful testing of the main, excavation will be done for the installation of new service connections for each property. Excavation will cause roadway disturbance, and temporary patching will be followed by road resurfacing, as needed.

"There will be temporary inconveniences associated with the construction," George said. "Access to and from your driveway may be occasionally impeded."

Anyone with questions about the project should contact the WMA office at 215-675-3301, ext. 201.

Also, an inspector will be on-site daily to also answer questions.
