2024 Borough of Glendon Water System Improvements:
On September 3, 2024, Easton Suburban Water Authority will begin a project
to replace the existing cast iron water mains on the 200 Block of High
Street, Holly Street and Liberty Street in the Borough of Glendon with new
ductile iron water mains. The work will begin on the 200 Block of High
Street and require the road to be closed to traffic during work hours. A
detour utilizing Main Street, Berwick Street, Packer Street, Line Street
and Holly Street will be in place during work hours. After High Street,
work will be performed on Holly Street and then on Liberty Street. Work
hours will be from approximately 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM and the roads will be
opened to through traffic at the end of each workday.
The project will consist of four phases, with the first being the
installation and testing of the new water mains. Once the water mains are
installed and tested, the service laterals will be transferred to the new
water mains. The third phase will be the connections of the new water
mains to the existing water mains on the streets adjacent to the project
area. The roads will be temporarily restored as the water system work is
completed. The fourth and final phase of the project will be permanent
pavement and landscaping restoration. This will be completed once the
trenches have been provided with adequate settlement time. We anticipate
the water system work should be completed by the end of September.
