Aqua Pennsylvania is upgrading 17,310 feet of aging water mains across Delaware County.
The aged cast iron pipes are being replaced with new ductile iron mains composed of nearly 90 percent recycled materials, providing more reliable service for decades to come.
These investments are 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 improving 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.
