BRYN MAWR, PA — Aqua Pennsylvania is replacing 25,120 feet of aging water mains across multiple Delaware County municipalities to improve system reliability and reduce service disruptions.

In Haverford Township, 4,215 feet of water main will be replaced on Surrey Lane Loop, Hill Road, Leedom Road and at the intersection of Dill and Hill roads.
