Aqua Pennsylvania leadership joined community leaders and employees to cut the ribbon on its Harbor View Well Station project, marking $66 million in infrastructure upgrades to its Treasure Lake system over the past 10 years of Aqua ownership.

The system, which provides drinking water and wastewater services to more than 4,400 drinking water and sewer customers (2,200 each) in Clearfield County, has undergone significant upgrades that will help support reliability and water capacity including:

  • Addition of fire protection, including 53 new fire hydrants, which did not exist prior to Aqua ownership
  • A 500,000-gallon drinking water storage tank that nearly doubled water storage in the community, which helps maintain drinking water supply in case of emergency
  • Wastewater treatment plant consolidation and improvements that increased the plant’s reliability, resiliency and capacity, which improved the quality of treated wastewater to protect public health, preserve water sources and support the local environment.
  • A new well station with administrative offices that consolidate the Aqua team of seven employees in one location
  • Six upgraded sewer lift stations to prevent sanitary sewer overflows into the local environment, streams and waterways

“At Aqua, we take pride in strategic capital investments that improve our infrastructure, which offers more reliable service and improved drinking water quality to our customers and has lasting positive impacts on the environment,” said Aqua Pennsylvania President Marc Lucca. “As we approach nearly 10 years of serving the Treasure Lake community, we are committed to the long-term benefit of our infrastructure improvements and how upgrades like the Harbor View Well Station help support future generations who live in this outstanding community and its environment.”

These project upgrades are part of nearly $108 million in infrastructure improvements across western Pennsylvania, and more than $1.1 billion in Pennsylvania, since 2018.
