Water Main Replacement at Knapp Elementary School - Work Ongoing
North Penn Water Authority's contractor is continuing the installation of the water main on Knapp Road starting at Norway Drive and ending at Clear Spring and Frederick Roads. The route runs along Knapp Road to the entrance of Knapp Elementary School at Valley Brook Drive, and continues to Frederick Road in Lansdale Borough and Montgomery Township.
The work is estimated to be completed by August 16th. This water main work is being completed in coordination with the North Penn School District to prevent impacting school operations.
Crews will be working in the area from 7:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Traffic control will be in effect during main installation, and there may be lane restrictions in effect on Knapp Road for brief periods of time during the construction period. Emergency vehicles will have access to the area, and to the fullest extent possible, every effort will be made to keep open access to local residents. Once installed, the main will be flushed, sampled and then placed into service.
We thank you for your patience during this time.
