Project Description
The Susquehanna Raw Water Pumping Station Reliability Improvements project will maintain the Chester Water Authority’s ability to provide quality water to its customers by making improvements to the Susquehanna Raw Water Pumping Station. In recent years, operational challenges have limited the functionality of the Susquehanna Raw Water Pumping Station, which serves as the only alternate water source to Chester Water Authority’s water treatment plant. Efforts under this project will include pump station and intake improvements to increase the station’s reliability, enhance flow control, reduce maintenance, and upgrade emergency power systems.
