summer. “It’s going to blend
in pretty good,” Subasic said.
It will cost more to run a
main line from the new remote
tank location, but the tank itself
will be less expensive. “It’s a
tradeoff,” he said.
Once the land is acquired,
the company must get approval
from the township for a minor
subdivision. Subasic said he
hoped to approach the planning
commission early next year.
Dave Quinn, Manager of the
company’s White Haven
Division, said in September
that installation of a tank would
address several issues.
Inadequate pressure now
makes it impossible to properly
flush the lines, leading to a
buildup of contaminants. The
problem is especially acute in
Midway Manor, he said, where
the lines themselves are too
small.
A tank, which would contain
more than 200,000 gallons of
water, would provide more
pressure for flushing, and
would also allow the use of fire
hydrants. Even though there
are fire hydrants in some of the
subdivisions the company
serves, pressure is now too low
to make them functional.
The tank will also assure that
water is available during power
outages.
The tank is one piece in a
larger project to improve water
quality in the area near Manor
Drive and Carverton Road. In
2002, Aqua Pennsylvania took
over several small companies
from the defunct National
Utilities, and now wants to tie
them all together.
The company’s request for a
$2.6 million low-interest PEN-
NVEST loan was approved last
month by the Pennsylvania
Infrastructure Investment
Authority. The funding will
provide for the installation of
the storage tank and allow
Aqua Pennsylvania to develop
new wells and replace 10,000

tower can be lower.”

feet of water mains.
The company plans to inter-
connect these small water sys-
tems: Bramblewood, Midway
Manor, Harris Hill, Cedar Lane,
Sunrise Estates, Windsor
Farms, Maplecrest and
Meadowcrest. Together, they
serve about 800 homes.
Each system now has its own
well, but connecting them
together will also make service
more reliable. “We’ll abandon
some of those wells and keep
the good ones,” he said, and
once that is done he sees no
need for new wells.
“As soon as we get the town-
ship’s blessing, we can go for-
ward,” he said. “It will probably
be like three different projects,”
the tank, interconnecting the
main lines and then replacing
outdated lines into homes,
especially in Midway Manor.
Subasic said the company
would assume all costs, even
for plumbing needed to move
connections from the back to
the front of homes. The present
lines run behind houses, and
the new ones will be placed
below the roadway in front of
them.
The company recently
received a rate increase of
about 10 percent. But there will
be no assessments for the
installation of the mains, con-
nections or tower.
Once an actual plan is sub-
mitted, public hearings will be
held at which customers and
property owners can comment.
Aqua Pennsylvania also owns
systems in Lehman and at
Harveys Lake, and recently
acquired the system that serves
Fieldcrest in Jackson
Township.
