Easton Suburban Water Authority is working to complete the design of a project in the South Side area of Easton to replace the existing cast iron water mains with new 8” ductile iron water mains.  The project will consist of the replacement of the watermains and the replacement or reconnection of the water service laterals.  Existing copper water service laterals will be connected to the new water mains and any lead service laterals that are found will be replaced between the new water main and the curb stop.  Test holes will be excavated on the curb stops in April and May of 2025 to confirm the water service lateral material on both sides of the curb stop.  The project will be bid in the Summer of 2025 with construction anticipated to begin in the Fall of 2025.

Work should be completed in the Spring of 2026.

The work is planned on the following streets:
