Announcement made in conjunction with
Infrastructure Week observation, celebrated May 13-17
In conjunction with the start of the Infrastructure Week
observation, Pennsylvania American Water today announced its 2024
tank infrastructure investment plan to rehabilitate 10 of its water
storage tanks and construct four new tanks. Pennsylvania American
Water’s tank rehabilitation program of inspecting, sandblasting,
and repainting tanks extends the tanks service lives and helps
protect water quality. The total cost of the company’s water
storage upgrades this year is approximately $28.3 million.
“Storage tanks are a critical part of our distribution system
infrastructure,” said Bruce Aiton, vice president of engineering at
Pennsylvania American Water. “Tanks provide system capacity to
residential and commercial customers, along with adequate pressure
and fire protection. Maintaining and rehabilitating tanks extends
their service life and is more cost-efficient than replacing
them.”
This year, the company will rehabilitate and repaint storage
tanks in the following municipalities:

To rehabilitate the tanks, crews will strip the original paint
and apply a new coating, which serves as a protective barrier that
prevents steel from rusting and impacting water quality. During
construction, customers should not experience impacts on their
water service.
The company also is constructing four new ground storage tanks
in the following municipalities to provide additional water storage
capacity, which will help the company continue to deliver reliable
water service to meet customer demand and provide fire
protection:
