Aqua Pennsylvania has announced that a $1.2 million infrastructure improvement project is underway in West Whiteland Township. This investment is part of Aqua’s continuing infrastructure improvement program to improve reliability for customers throughout Chester County.   

Crews recently began working to replace 5,800 feet of aging six- and eight-inch cement pipe with new six- and eight-inch ductile iron water main on the following streets: 

• Burke Road 350 feet north of Colwyn Terrace and 210 feet south of Colwyn Terrace
• Colwyn Terrace between Burke Road and the end of the cul-de-sac 
• Laydon Lane between Colwyn Terrace and the end of the cul-de-sac 
• Retford Lane between Laydon Lane and the end of the cul-de-sac 

Aqua’s work is expected to be completed in July, weather permitting. Final road restoration is expected to be completed in the summer.  

The new water main will reduce the potential for main breaks and discolored water and improve water flow in the area.
