PHASE II​

UPDATE: PHASE II IR Plan for Beaver Creek Crossing - Scheduled to begin May 28, 2024

January 22, 2024

Dear Customer/Resident
I am writing to provide you with details on Aqua Pennsylvania’s upcoming construction work that is scheduled in your neighborhood or place of business. Aqua understands some of you are a customer of Downingtown Municipal Water Authority or Pennsylvania American Water Company and we want to let you know your water service will not be affected in any way. Our water main project is designed to improve water quality to Aqua customers that are adjacent to your neighborhood. The week of February 5, 2024, Aqua Pennsylvania will begin installation of 3,300 feet of new 16-inch ductile iron water main on the following roads in Caln Township and Downingtown Borough, Chester County.

• Lloyd Avenue (Poorhouse) between Deer Drive and a point 300 feet west of Stonebridge Lane

 
The $1,930,000 project is part of our continuing infrastructure improvement program that replaced more than 11 miles of aging main in Chester County in 2023 to improve service reliability for customers. The new water main will reduce the potential for main breaks, discolored water and improve water flow in the area.
 
Construction will generally take place weekdays between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Lloyd Avenue and between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Lancaster Avenue.  Access will be provided for emergency, mail and trash service. Residents will have access to their properties, but at times will need to enter from different directions due to changing work zones. Following installation, the new main will be flushed, chlorinated and tested for water quality before being placed into service.  It is important to note the trench will be covered with temporary blacktop at the end of each workday. Permanent restoration will take place in the spring of 2024.
 Aqua will have an inspector on the job each day to answer your questions or you may also call us with any questions regarding the project at 610.430.0747. 
 
Sincerely,

Jim Rosser
Construction Superintendent – Great Valley Division

In 2023, the Board of Commissioners hired engineering firm Gilmore & Associates to evaluate the condition of the
Township’s roads and draft a report to help prioritize which roads should be included in upcoming road repaving programs.  The full report, linked below, rates the condition of each township road on a scale from 1-10. They also make recommendations about priorities for repaving. Keep in mind that in addition to considering the condition of each road, the cost (based on length and location) is also taken into account, but the report provides a general idea of which roads will be prioritized.
