Pennsylvania American Water Announces Start of Berkshire Avenue Water Main Replacement Project
$2.3 million investment to start Monday in Brookline
Pittsburgh, Pa. (March 26, 2022) – Pennsylvania American Water announced today the start of construction to replace 3,200 feet of aging water main along Berkshire Avenue in the City of Pittsburgh’s Brookline neighborhood to improve service reliability and fire protection for residents. The cost of this system improvement is approximately $2.3 million.
Weather permitting, Pennsylvania American Water contractors will begin upgrading the water main along Berkshire Avenue, from Queensboro Avenue to Chelton Avenue, in Brookline on Monday, March 28, 2022.
Work hours are 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Work on weekends and evenings is not expected unless required to maintain the project schedule. Completion of these projects is expected in late summer 2022.
While we connect the new main to the distribution system, customers may experience a temporary service interruption. Customers might also experience a slight discoloration of water. If this happens, run the water until it is clear.
Crews will work as quickly as possible to shorten the length of these temporary inconveniences. Once the pipe is installed, a temporary restoration will take place in the excavated area.
Final street restoration will be completed in the fall of 2022. If you have a question, visit our website or call us at 1-800-565-7292.
