More Sewer Work Planned For Next Week In Tredyffrin

TREDYFFRIN TOWNSHIP, PA — More routine sewer work will take place next week on several roads in Tredyffrin Township, and residents in those areas may experience some side effects from the work in their homes during the maintenance.

The township's sewer department will be flushing sewer lines on several roads from Monday, June 15 to Friday, June 19, the township said.

Work will be done on:

• Mount Pleasant Avenue;
• Henry Avenue;
• Fairview Avenue;
• North Valley Road from West Central Avenue to Fox Hill Lane;
• North Valley Forge Road from Conestoga Road to Devon State Road;
• Lancaster Avenue from Grove Avenue to Old Eagle School Road;
• and Swedesford Road to the Pump Station on North Wilson Road to include behind Hayward Road, Knox Court and Morgan Lane.

During the maintenance, Sewer Department crews will be using a high-pressure nozzle to go between manholes, using the water to scour or clean the lines.

Many sewer lines in the township run through right of ways in residents' yards, so some residents may have equipment taken through the right of ways so crews can access sewer lines.

Residents may hear a gurgling sound or bubbling in the toilet bowl and in rare cases, a small amount of water may splash out of toilets.

The causes of this are air movement from the normal cleaning process from the high pressure line, a plugged roof vent in the home, the sewer line running close to the building, or the size and complexity of the home's waste and ventilation system.

To minimize any splashing out of your bowl, make it a habit to keep your lid down.

Sewer gas odors may come from residents' drains. If you experience the small, flush your toilet and pour water into the drains.
