The 'Jolind Road' project is a $1.2 million undertaking in Paoli that is expected to finish in July.
Many residential streets were closed earlier this month as Aqua PA began a $1.2 million water main replacement project. Roughly 8,100 feet (about 1.5 miles) of old, cast iron pipe will be removed and replaced with 8-inch ductile iron main. According to Aqua PA spokesperson Donna Alston, the water main replacement is expected to finish in June, followed by final paving in July. The work will take place weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The following streets will be affected: The original piping dates back to the early 1900s, Alston said, and the new ductile iron main with cement lining will be more resistant to rust.
The path would connect the new Paoli Transportation Center to the Chester Valley Trail via West Central Avenue and Cedar Hollow Road.

In the Valley Hills neighborhood of Paoli, there were at least two downed trees and a neighbor reported a third.
