Aqua America Subsidiary Acquires Tredyffrin Township Municipal Authority’s Valley Creek Trunk Sewer System

The Valley Creek Trunk Sewer System receives untreated wastewater from Easttown, East Whiteland, Willistown and Tredyffrin Townships, Malvern Borough and the Valley Forge Sewer Authority.

The flow is conveyed to the Valley Forge Treatment Plant, owned by the VFSA. The system consists of 49,000 linear feet of gravity sewers, as well as the Darby Road and Wilson Road pump stations and force mains.

Aqua’s Chairman and CEO Christopher Franklin said it’s exciting to be able to bring the company’s wastewater expertise to the Tredyffrin Township area where Aqua already provides water service.

“Our team’s proficiency in the wastewater business will be important to ensuring continued efficient operations of this vital pipeline, which runs through Valley Forge National Historical Park.”

“We are grateful that Aqua has been entrusted to help resolve the long-standing challenges this system has faced and appreciate the opportunity to share our expertise in infrastructure and operations to strengthen it well into the future,” Franklin said.

This purchase is in addition to the approximately 33,000 regulated new connections Aqua announced in 2018, which are associated with municipal acquisitions that have recently closed or will close in 2019.
