Aqua Pennsylvania is modernizing water systems to improve reliability across Haverford, Upper Darby, Ridley, Springfield, and Tinicum Townships, as well as Media and Glenolden Boroughs.
Aqua Pennsylvania is upgrading 25,120 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.
