Stay alert while crew members are at work

MECHANICSBURG, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pennsylvania American Water is highlighting National Work Zone Awareness Week, an annual campaign that promotes safe driving in highway work zones from April 21-25, 2025.

“At Pennsylvania American Water, our teams and contractors work daily in and around roadways to provide reliable service for our customers,” said Kyle Durko, director of health and safety for Pennsylvania American Water. “While safety remains a priority, work zones can pose serious risks. National Work Zone Awareness Week emphasizes our shared responsibility to keep roads and workers safe. When you slow down and stay alert in work zones, you're helping protect lives, including your own.”

Whether its water and wastewater infrastructure upgrades or routine maintenance and cleaning, Pennsylvania American Water’s is focused on keeping crews and motorists safe.

Pennsylvania American Water provides these simple rules when driving through work zones:
