Pennsylvania American Water Announces Water Line Replacement Project in Amity Township

Mechanicsburg, Pa. (Aug. 10, 2021) – Today, Pennsylvania American Water announced upgrades to approximately 1,350 feet of water main in Amity Township to improve reliability for customers, reduce service disruptions, and increase water flows for firefighting. The cost of the system improvements, which replace water main dating back to the 1960s, is $425,000.

The project, which began this week, includes replacing existing small-diameter pipe with new 8-inch ductile iron main along Nicholson Avenue between Lake Drive and Briarwood Drive Amity. Crews will work weekdays between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Traffic restrictions will be in place during construction. The company expects to complete the water main installation and connect all customer service lines to the new main by the end of August. Final restoration and paving are scheduled to be completed later this fall.

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.

Pennsylvania American Water, a subsidiary of American Water (NYSE: AWK), is the largest investor-owned water utility in the state, providing high-quality and reliable water and/or wastewater services to approximately 2.4 million people.
