| One
More Clean Water-Storage Tank
|
|
In
2000, as part of Chester Water Authority’s proactive
preventive maintenance program, a 10-million-gallon steel
water-storage tank located in the Village Green Tank Farm
in Aston Township, Delaware County, was inspected for
structural stability and was then refurbished.
During the tank rehabilitation, the interior and
exterior of the tank were cleaned and repainted. |
 |
|
|
|
The
refurbishment of Tank No. 8 was completed in October at an
approximate cost of $1,090,000.
Chester Water Authority has a total of 90 million
gallons of treated water in storage at Village Green to
ensure that your supply of water will not be interrupted.
Maintaining the nine tanks there is only one of the
proactive steps we take in making sure water is at the
faucet when you need it. |

Keeping
Our Water Supply Clean |
|
|
Qality drinking water begins with quality
water at its source. Waters
feed our primary source of water, the Octoraro Reservoir, from the
surrounding Octoraro Watershed.
A watershed is the land area drained by a stream or river.
Any rain or snow that falls in the watershed of the
Octoraro Creek flows into that stream, by traveling over land or
through the ground. That
water eventually ends up in our drinking water supply – the
Octoraro Reservoir. |
|
 |
To
protect the water quality of the Octoraro Watershed, Chester
Water Authority has forged a strong and lasting partnership
with the Octoraro Watershed Association.
This association is a group of volunteers that works
to protect the approximately 140 square miles of the
Octoraro Watershed. |
|
|
|
Over
the years, this association has presented many educational and
outreach programs about how to keep our water clean and protect
the environment.
Currently,
one of the goals of the Octoraro Watershed Association is to
increase its membership. If
you, or someone you know, is interested in protecting the
environment and would like to get involved with the Octoraro
Watershed Association, please contact its secretary, Mr. Pat
Fasano, at (717) 529-2132. If
you prefer, you can e-mail him at
owa@desupernet.net.
