Announcement from Pennsylvania American Water Company
Pennsylvania American Water is currently working to identify service line material for all customers across the Commonwealth. A service line is the pipe that connects a customer’s home or building to the water main located in the street.
Starting this week, customers whose service line material is unknown to Pennsylvania American Water will be sent a postcard (attached) with information on how to participate in this vital identification effort.
Customers can respond by visiting the website on the postcard, scanning the QR code, or by calling the number provided that directs customers to the company’s project management firm, Greeley and Hansen. As part of this survey, customers will be asked to answer a few questions about their water service line and upload a photo of their service line material, if possible.
Determining what material every customer’s service line is made of – including the lines owned by them and not just by us – is a massive undertaking. We’re asking our customers to take this request seriously and respond so we can act accordingly. We ask for your help in getting the word out to your community.

A representative from GFL (formerly County Waste) has confirmed that garbage stickers will continue to be utilized for garbage collection until other options become available. If there are to be any changes in the future, GFL will relay them to Plymouth Borough in advance so residents can be notified accordingly.
