Pennsylvania American Water is replacing 3,000 feet of aging water main along East Brady Street and Third Street in Butler Township and Butler City to improve service reliability and fire protection for residents. The cost of the improvements is approximately $790,000.

Weather permitting on Wednesday, contractors will start upgrading the water main along East Brady Street, from Third Street to Limburg Street, in Butler Township. Contractors will then transition to Third Street, from East Brady Street to Charles Street.

The projects are part of a $4 million Butler County system investment announced earlier this year, including additional water main upgrades in the City of Butler, Butler Township, and Connoquenessing Township.

Work hours are 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Work on weekends and evenings is not expected unless required to maintain the project schedule. Completion of these projects is expected in late summer 2022. Once the pipe is installed, a temporary restoration will take place in the excavated area. Final street restoration will be completed in fall 2022.
