Public Water System
During this time, you may experience sputtering faucets and cloudy/dirty water. This is due to air that has entered the line and the stirring up of sediment that has coated the mains. This is normal. To alleviate the problem, let your faucet run for 3 to 5 minutes. If the problem persists, please contact our office at (717) 292-3634.
The public water system is maintained, metered and billed by Dover Township. The current estimate is that there are 73 miles of waterlines within the system consisting of cast iron, ductile iron, and transite pipe. Current water usage is about 1 million gallons per day. The water system consists of 10 entry points (nine groundwater and one surface purchased-water source), five storage tanks, and two pump stations. During a 2010 water main project, about 2 miles of 6–8 inch water mains were upgraded to 10–12 inch mains.
