BERWYN » Aqua Pennsylvania announced $620,000 in infrastructure improvement projects are currently underway in Chester County.

In East Whiteland Township, crews are at work on a $350,000 project to install 2,150 feet of 8-inch ductile iron pipe. This project, which is expected to be completed this month, will replace an existing iron main on Moores Road between Church Road and North Phoenixville Pike.

In Tredyffrin Township, crews will soon begin work on a $270,000 project to replace a 6-inch cast iron water main with the installation of 1,150 feet of 8-inch and 475 feet of 6-inch ductile iron pipe. Project completion is expected in December and will take place on the following streets:

• Lawrence Lane between West Valley Road and end of cul-de-sac;

• Vassar Road between Lawrence Lane and Vassar Circle;

• Vassar Circle between Vassar Lane and end of culde-sac.

The new mains will improve service reliability, reduce the potential for discolored water and improve firefighting capabilities.
