East Whiteland Township Community Survey Results



In case you missed it or you are having trouble downloading it from the East Whiteland Township site.Interesting that under 400 residents responded.  As of 2010 East Whiteland's population was just over 10,000.

Construction: Aqua Water Project Info


Thanks to Joel Stern for suggesting to post East Whiteland Township's recent Facebook status here on our website.

>To Township Residents affected by the below information, The information is being provided to our residents in an attempt to keep you informed. This is an Aqua Water project, any questions should be directed to Aqua at 877-987-2782

Dear Customer,
As part of our continuing infrastructure improvement program, Aqua Pennsylvania (Aqua) will replace the existing 12-inch and 6-inch cast iron water main on the following streets in East Whiteland Township, Chester County:
• Swedesford Road between Conestoga Road and a point 30 feet west of the Chester Valley Trail overpass
• Wood Lane between Elbow Lane and Winding Way
• Elbow Lane between Swedesford Road and Beth Lane
• Winding Way between Beth Lane and end of cul-de-sac
• Roberts Road between Winding Way and end of cul-de-sac
• Beth Lane between Elbow and Wood lanes

The new 12-inch and 8-inch ductile iron main will increase service reliability, reduce the potential for discolored water and improve firefighting capabilities in the area. The $1,290,000 project is scheduled to begin the week of September 8, 2015 with the installation of 1,240 feet of 12-inch and 6,580 feet of 8-inch ductile iron pipe, with completion expected in January 2016. Aqua will have an inspector on the job each day to answer your questions.

Following the installation of the new water main, there will be a period of time during which the main will be chlorinated and tested before being put into service. Activity on the job site will be limited during this phase. Once testing has been completed, we will transfer each water service and any fire hydrants onto the new main, then make the final connections on the side streets and abandon the old main. It is important to note that the trench will be covered with temporary black top at the end of each work day. Permanent restoration will be complete in December of 2015.

• Work hours for all work on Swedesford Road will be 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• A detour will be in place for all work on Swedesford Road
• Work hours for all other streets will be 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Access will be provided for emergency, mail and trash services. Residents will have access to their properties, but at times will need to enter from different directions due to changing work zones. We will notify customers 24 hours in advance of any scheduled shutdown. However, as with any construction project, an emergency shutdown might be necessary. If so, we will restore service as soon as possible.

If you have any questions regarding the project, please contact me at 610.430.0747. Should you have an emergency, including a water quality issue, please call our Customer Service Department or emergency dispatcher at 877.987.2782.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this construction while we make important improvements to the water distribution system.

Sincerely,

Jim Rosser
Construction Superintendent – Great Valley Division<

Watching the Neighborhood: Black Ford Explorer on Old Swedesford Rd

A DECA resident observed a man fitting the description of the intruder at 234 Swedesford Rd driving a black SUV sitting in his car this morning on Old Swedesford Rd.  When approached he rolled down the window and said he was taking a call.  This has been reported to the East Whiteland Police department.

I live on Old Swedesford Rd and random cars park there from time to time.  Keep your eyes open.  If you see something suspicious report it to
East Whiteland Police.  Here is a recent post from the EWT Police website concerning the intruder at 234.


June 24, 2015

            East Whiteland Township Police along with other police departments across the county have been experiencing day time residential burglaries. The burglaries are typically committed between 7am and noon, after the actor believes people have left for work.
            The actor is described as an African American Male, 6’00” to 6’02”, with a “construction worker’s build”, short buzzed hair or possibly bald in his late 30s to early 40s. He typically has worn dark clothing, long pants and long shirt, work gloves and tan boots.
            He is operating a black SUV with heavily tinted windows. During most incidents, the actor will park in the victim’s driveway. He then attempts to determine if the homeowner is home by knocking on the front door. After receiving no answer, the actor will then force entry into the residence. In multiple instances, the actor has forced entry into a residence that he believed was unoccupied which has resulted in confrontations with the homeowner.
            Based on the method in which the actor first knocks on the front door of a residence before forcing entry, police believe there are county residents who may have had contact with the suspect. The suspect may have fabricated a story as to why he was knocking at the door if a homeowner answers. Police are asking anyone who has had contact with the suspect or seen the suspect, to contact East Whiteland Detectives at 610-647-2100 or email detectives@eastwhiteland.org.
            East Whiteland Police also want to remind County residents to be vigilant and careful if a stranger is knocking at their door. If they appear suspicious, call police. If a vehicle is involved, please attempt to obtain a license plate without putting themselves at risk.
