Aqua Pennsylvania is investing $3 million in Delaware County infrastructure to replace nearly 7,000 feet of aging water main in Upper Darby and Upper Providence townships. The company is upgrading aging water mains with ductile iron water mains, which are more durable and comprised of nearly 90 percent recycled materials.  

This investment is part of Aqua’s continuing infrastructure improvement program to replace decades-old water and wastewater infrastructure around the country. The new water mains will reduce the potential for main breaks and discolored water and will improve water flow for customers throughout Delaware County. 

In Upper Darby Township, crews are implementing new 6, 8, 12, and 16-inch ductile iron water mains on West Chester Pike between Oakley Road and North Keystone Avenue. The project is expected to be completed in October 2023. Final road restoration is expected to be completed by the end of 2023, weather permitting.  

Recently, crews in Upper Providence Township completed the installation of new 6, 8, and 12-inch ductile iron water mains on Providence Road between Palmers Mill Road and Media Bypass Route 1. 

Aqua’s main replacement work contributes to the company’s overarching commitment to providing quality, reliable drinking water, and safe wastewater solutions to customers. To learn more about Aqua’s dedication to improving America’s infrastructure, please visit the website.
