Jennersville Tank and Booster Station |
|
In Upper Oxford Township, Chester County, the Authority has
completed construction of a new 450,000-gallon water storage tank
(shown in picture) and booster station. These facilities were put
into service in December 2001. The pumping station has two pumps,
each capable of pumping 550 gallons of water per minute (gpm).
The booster station and tank
were built to provide ample fire-flow for this area of Chester
County, especially the Jennersville Regional Hospital (formerly
Southern Chester County Medical Center). With both pumps operating
simultaneously, all fire-flow requirements can be met. Also, water
demand is being met every day for the customers. |

|
A
new Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) remote
telemetry unit was installed at the same time and monitors the tank
and booster station from our control center in the City of Chester.
Telemetry is a technique used in transmitting and receiving data
over phone lines or radio. This system replaces the manual
collection of paper graphs and simplifies the process of generating
reports. |

These two capital improvements
enhance service reliability and water storage capacity in this part
of our service area. Once again, CWA is taking steps to implement
change and is using technology to enhance water quality, service,
and value to customers!
The total project cost was $1.1
million for these projects to our distribution system in Southern
Chester County. |

Safety and security
for our customers is a priority for the Authority. That is why we
outfit our field personnel with a uniform that displays our logo and
the name of the employee. Pictured is a field employee wearing an
official CWA uniform. Also be assured that all of our employees
have proper CWA identification. Our employees drive a vehicle that
also displays the CWA logo (also pictured). |
