Dear Valued SUEZ Customer:

We hope you are safe and healthy during these difficult times. This message is to provide customers with an update on the progress of our East Street Replacement Project.

At this time, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has put a hold on all construction taking place in driving lanes. This impacts the progress of the East Street project. The hold is placed due to lack of materials to repave the roads. Materials are anticipated to become available in March, and SUEZ hopes to receive approval to continue along with the main replacement project.

To date, SUEZ has installed 2,400 feet of main for this project and 72 service line replacements. Main installations and service line replacements have been completed from East 2nd Street down through East 5th Street. New main has also been installed on a portion of Fort McClure and up Ferry Road. The project will pick back up in this area once PennDOT approves the continuation of construction.

SUEZ will be sure to notify customers of any anticipated service interruptions when work resumes. We thank our customers for your patience and understanding during our construction and we look forward to the long-term benefits of the completed infrastructure upgrades in your area.  Best regards,

SUEZ
