Capital Region Water announced today that it has kicked off a $830,000 water main improvement project.
The project will install 2,915 feet of 6-inch diameter water main to improve water quality, service reliability and flow for fire protection in Harrisburg, Penbrook and Susquehanna Township, according to CRW.
Potential impacts of this construction include street closures, parking restrictions, construction noise, temporary water service interruption and temporary roadway patching, CRW said. Project locations are:
- Swatara Street between 21st Street and 22nd Street, Harrisburg
- Hoffer Lane between 28th Street and Market Street, Penbrook
- Hoffer Street between 28th Street and Market Street, Penbrook
- Motter Street between Hoffer Street and Boas Street, Penbrook
- Shell Street between Schoolhouse Lane and Rustic Drive, Susquehanna Township
- Locust Alley between Cloverfield Road and N. 39th Street, Susquehanna Township
- Rauch Street between Sterling Alley and Plainview Street, Susquehanna Township
Construction already has began at the first location at Hoffer Street between Market and 28th Street, said Andrew Bliss, CRW community outreach manager. He said all pipes will be installed by year-end, with final street restoration in the spring.
Construction hours will be Monday to Friday, 7 a,m, to 5 p.m. This project will not require access to customers’ homes, and additional details will be provided to properties adjacent to the project locations in advance through door-to-door outreach, said CRW.
“This project is just one example of Capital Region Water’s proactive efforts to provide the highest quality water and reliable service while operating our system efficiently,” said CRW board Chairman Marc Kurowski. “We appreciate our customers’ patience while these improvements are made.”
