September 8, 2025  Dear Customer,

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. Monday, September 22, 2025, Aqua Pennsylvania will begin the installation of 2,800 feet of new water main on Goshen Road between Collins Drive and west side of Baylowell Drive in West Goshen Township & West Chester Borough.  

The $1,300,000 project is part of our continuing infrastructure improvement program that replaced more than 10 miles of aging main in Chester County in 2024 to improve service reliability for customers. The new water main will improve water flow in the area.

Construction will generally take place on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. Access will be provided for school bus, emergency, mail and trash services. 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. During the chlorination/testing phase, activity on the job site may be limited. It is important to note the trench will be covered with temporary blacktop at the end of each workday. Permanent restoration will take place, weather permitting in fall of 2025 or spring 2026.

Aqua will have an inspector on the job each day to answer your questions.

Please refer to the accompanying door hanger for more information on what to expect as we begin our construction project in your neighborhood.

In addition to reaching our customer service staff and emergency dispatcher at the number listed on the doorhanger accompanying this letter, you may also call us with any questions regarding the project at 610.430.0747 ext. 55077. 

Sincerely,

Alan Roth 

Manager, Construction
