Aqua Pennsylvania is upgrading 5,000 feet of aging water mains in West Goshen Township and West Chester Borough, Chester County.

The existing cast iron pipes, which have exceeded their lifespan of 15-100 years, are being replaced with new copper mains and 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 around the country. It will help prevent leaks, reduce service interruptions, and minimize environmental risks, ultimately enhancing water flow and reliability for local families and businesses.

Targeted Upgrades for Local Communities

In West Goshen Township, crews are replacing 4,550 feet of aging water mains with new ductile iron mains on the following streets:

· Mallard Road between Westtown Road and Wildwood Avenue

· Somerset Place between Mallard Road and the end of the cul-de-sac

· Chestnut Alley between South Concord Road and Marguerite Avenue

Crews are also upgrading 450 feet of aging water mains in West Chester Borough on the following streets:

· South High Street between East Nields Street and Sharpless Street

The new two-inch copper and six-inch, eight-inch, and 16-inch ductile iron mains will better meet community demands, ensuring reliable water service.

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.
