CALN — Pennsylvania American Water today announced the start of water main upgrades in the township to improve service reliability for customers and increase water flows for firefighting. The project will replace aging water lines and is estimated to cost approximately $525,000.
Starting this week, crews will install approximately 3,000 feet of new eight-inch ductile-iron water main along William Way between Municipal and Larsen Drives.
Construction will take place weekdays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Traffic restrictions will be in place during work hours, and motorists are urged to find alternate routes. The company plans to complete water main installation and transfer of customer services by the end of December, weather permitting. Final paving restoration is scheduled for spring 2015.
During construction, customers might experience temporary service interruptions, discolored water and/or lower than normal water pressure. Crews will work as quickly as possible to shorten the length of these temporary inconveniences. For more information, contact Pennsylvania American Water’s customer service center at 1-800-565-7292.
