Big changes are coming to Ridge Road in West Rockhill Township as the North Penn Water Authority (NPWA) prepares to kick off construction of a vital water transmission line. This project is expected to enhance water quality and compliance with updated Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, marking a significant step forward for the local water infrastructure.

Project Overview

The new 2.7-mile, 12-inch transmission line will run along the east side of Ridge Road, stretching from County Line Road to Almont Road. Once completed, the line will connect existing water lines in the Sellersville service area, located above Grand View Hospital, to NPWA’s main system in Chalfont. This connection is crucial for ensuring a more robust and compliant water supply for the community.

Timeline and Road Closures

Construction is slated to begin at the end of January, with substantial completion anticipated by July and full completion expected by September. To facilitate this work, Ridge Road will be closed to traffic between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. during the construction period. Residents and commuters should plan for potential delays and consider alternate routes.

Why This Matters

This project reflects NPWA’s commitment to meeting stricter EPA water regulations and providing safe, high-quality water to the community. By upgrading the infrastructure, NPWA aims to ensure reliable service for years to come, benefiting residents and businesses throughout the area.
