Aqua Pennsylvania is upgrading 12,840 feet of aging water mains in Tredyffrin, Thornbury, and Easttown Townships, Chester County.
The existing cast iron pipes are being replaced with new ductile iron mains made from nearly 90 percent recycled materials, ensuring more reliable service for decades to come.
This investment is part of Aqua’s continuing infrastructure improvement program to replace decades-old water and wastewater infrastructure nationwide. It will help prevent leaks, reduce service interruptions, and minimize environmental risks, ultimately enhancing water flow and reliability for local families and businesses.

Investing in Pennsylvania’s Infrastructure
Many of Pennsylvania’s drinking water systems date back nearly a century, with pipes that have exceeded their expected lifespan. Frequent leaks and main breaks are clear indicators of aging infrastructure, making these replacement projects a priority. Every foot of upgraded pipe helps prevent service disruptions, reduces leakage, and strengthens the system’s reliability.
