The latest on the MAWSA Water Main Replacement and Extension Project looking towards the week of 9/22
- Water main replacement work continues for the first part of the week, continuing north to right around Eby Street.
- Service line connections to the new main could start as early as Thursday 9/25, but most likely the following week. We will notify residents individually if this will actually happen next week.
- These would continue through the week of 9/28 with final tie-ins to follow.
- Final paving, sidewalk and driveway repairs will be completed at the end of entire project
Final paving/restoration schedule is not confirmed yet, but with work wrapping up the beginning of October this should follow quickly. Ideally, while the Main Street portion is finishing up. These projects were made possible by an ARPA H2O PA Grant awarded in 2024.
