In December 2014, John Digiulio from the Philadelphia Water Department came to our monthly board meeting to talk about a major water main replacement project that will be going on in Cedar Park for all of 2015.
The Water Department has contracted with Nello Construction Company to replace mains on the following eight blocks:
- BEAUMONT ST from 48TH ST to 49TH ST
- FLORENCE AVE from 48TH ST to 49TH ST
- FLORENCE AVE from 49TH ST to 50TH ST
- FLORENCE AVE from 50TH ST to 51ST ST
- SAINT BERNARD ST from WARRINGTON AVE to FLORENCE AVE
- SAINT BERNARD ST from WARRINGTON AVE to FLORENCE AVE
- 48TH ST from BEAUMONT ST to FLORENCE AVE
- 50TH ST from PENTRIDGE ST to FLORENCE AVE
There's no set schedule for which blocks will get done first, but the Water Department estimates that it could take as long as 14 months to complete all of the work.For more information, including details on exactly what the Water Department will be doing when they dig up our streets, please click on the links below for the two handouts distributed at our meeting. The handouts have lots more information about what to expect if you live on or near these streets.
