CAPITAL IMPROVEM/ENT PROJECTS BEING PLANNED

The Authority's Strategic Plan calls for two major capital improvement projects in the near term.

The first project is the replacement of our Crum Creek Force Main and rehabilitation of our Sellers Avenue Interceptor. Bids have been opened for this project. (see above)

The project consists of the following:

1.	Install 36" diameter DIP force main	4,000 feet
2.	Rehabilitate 42" diameter interceptor	3,700 feet
3.	Repair Chester Pike culvert

In addition to the above project, an expansion / upgrade of the Crum Creek Pump Station will occur in 2018 or 2019.

This project is in its preliminary design stage. We will post more information when it becomes available.
