Valve replacements could cause short water outages in Tarentum
Tarentum businesses and residents may experience brief water outages over the next two weeks as crews install new water valves throughout the borough.
The project of close to $70,000 is being done by Tarentum Public Works crews in conjunction with Meyer Excavating, Inc.
According to the borough’s website, installation of the nine new valves will enable a more reliable supply of water and greatly assist in reducing the duration of outages should a waterline break occur.
The locations where the new valves will be installed at are First Avenue and Ross Street; First Avenue and Corbet Street; Fourth Avenue and Ross Street; East Seventh Avenue and Corbet Street; Seventh Avenue and Lock Street; West Eighth Avenue and Grantham Street; West 10th Avenue and East Street; and West 11th Avenue and Center Street.
The work is being partially funded by a $32,000 federal Community Development Block Grant.
