PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A water conservation order has been lifted for parts of Chester and Lancaster counties.
Over the weekend, Pennsylvania American Water asked about 23,000 customers to reduce their water usage by 10% to 15%. Affected customers were in Atglen, Parkesburg and South Coatesville boroughs, and Caln, East Fallowfield, Highland, Valley, West Brandywine and West Sadsbury townships.
It said last week’s storms increased treatment demands and temporarily reduced treatment capacity at the plant.
The utility company said all four treatment filters in its Coatesville system are now back in service, and the plant has regained enough production capacity to meet customer demand.
