Conway Borough will be without water overnight as waterline work continues

CONWAY, Pa. — A Beaver County borough will be without water again, overnight.

Waterline replacement work is leading to shut-offs in Conway. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week, the downtown area will be without water from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. as part of that project.

Neighbors tell Channel 11 that the waterline work is well overdue and worth the inconvenience.

“I’d rather work around it than have another disaster happen,” Christina Demacio said. She lives and works at the corner of 2nd Avenue and 11th Street where much of the work is being done. She tells Channel 11 she’s had firsthand experience with the borough’s infrastructure.  “There was a big water break outside and my basement got flooded.”

That basement is where she creates custom bath and body products for her business Pink Faucet.

Demacio and neighbor Bill Waddell say communication has been good, giving them and others a chance to prepare.

“I’ve got my bathtub half-filled with water and a five-gallon bucket so I can flush my toilet overnight. I hope they get it fixed soon,” Waddell said.

We caught up with him outside Scoot’s Bar and Grill. Employees there tell us they have to close early due to the outages.

Downtown Conway is under a boil water advisory until further notice.

“Well worth it. Overdue and well worth it,” Demacio said.
