North Philadelphia Transmission Piping
Current Phase: Design
Overview
The North Philadelphia Transmission Main project involves installing large, underground pipes that carry treated drinking water over long distances. Transmission mains connect drinking water treatment plants to pump stations, tanks, and neighborhood water systems.
The goal of installing these new treatment mains is to expand how far clean drinking water can reach from Baxter Water Treatment Plant. This creates a more flexible drinking water system.
The new transmission mains will better connect areas usually served by our other two drinking water treatment plants: Belmont and Queen Lane.
What is the Water Revitalization Plan (WRP)?
The WRP is Philadelphia’s multi-decade plan to strengthen and upgrade essential drinking water infrastructure. From upgraded facilities to new water mains, the WRP will improve our water system. There are dozens of projects included in the WRP which will benefit all neighborhoods across Philadelphia. Learn more about the Water Revitalization Plan –>
