Pennsylvania American Water to begin water line upgrades for Berwick

Pennsylvania American Water has announced approximately $250,000 in improvements to the water system in Berwick, Pennsylvania.

The company will replace around 1,300ft of aging pipe which dates back to the 1930s. The upgrades aim to improve reliability for customers, reduce service disruptions and increase water flows for firefighting.

Work on the project will begin next week. It includes deployment of new eight-inch ductile-iron pipe replacing existing four-inch pipe.

Pennsylvania American Water expects to complete the water main installation, including transfer of all customer services and final paving restoration by the end of the year.

The company provides high-quality and reliable water and wastewater services to around 2.2 million people.
