The Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) is planning and designing several infrastructure projects in and around Walnut Hill and neighboring Spruce Hill, including new water mains, sewer replacements, and green stormwater infrastructure. The projects are at various stages, from design to pre-construction, and PWD will post construction dates and affected streets on each project page as work gets closer.
