Pennsylvania American Water Announces $910,000 West Mifflin Water System Upgrade
Pittsburgh, Pa. (March 3, 2023) – Pennsylvania American Water announced today the start of construction to install approximately 2,300 feet of new water main in West Mifflin to improve service reliability and fire protection for residents. The cost of these system improvements is approximately $910,000.
Starting this week, water mains will be replaced along Glencairn Street between Irene Street and Vista View Street and along Vista View Street from Glencairn Street to the dead end.
Crews will work weekdays between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. and traffic restrictions will be in place during construction. The company expects to complete the water main installation, including connecting all customer service lines to the new mains, this spring, with final restoration and paving scheduled for fall.
This infrastructure upgrade project is not only an important investment in public health and safety. It also helps support the economic health of the communities we serve. Economic impact studies show that for every $1 million invested in water infrastructure, upwards of 15 jobs are generated throughout the economy. Pennsylvania American Water invested approximately $490 million in 2022 alone to improve our water and wastewater treatment and pipeline systems, supporting more than 7,000 jobs.
During construction, customers might experience temporary service interruptions, discolored water, and/or lower-than-normal water pressure. Crews will work as quickly as possible to shorten the length of these temporary inconveniences. For more information, contact Pennsylvania American Water’s customer service center at 1-800-565-7292.
