Business Wire
New Jersey American Water will be installing approximately $1.6
million of new water mains on Stuyvesant Avenue from Chestnut
Street to Vauxhall Road in Union. The roughly 5,600 feet of new
pipe replaces water main that was installed as far back as the
1920s. The aging water lines will be replaced with ductile iron
pipes.
“This project is part of New Jersey American Water’s
multimillion dollar program to accelerate the renewal of water
infrastructure that is reaching the end of its useful life,” stated
Robert Schaefer, senior director of Operations, Central Region.
“Once completed, this improvement project will enhance water
service reliability and water flows for household consumption and
fire protection.”
Work began this week and will continue Mondays through Fridays,
from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Weather permitting, the project will be
completed by the end of February. Final paving and restoration will
be completed in the spring of 2017.
Traffic control will be coordinated with the local police
department. New Jersey American Water advises pedestrians and
drivers to take caution in the vicinity of the work sites, obey
traffic signs and follow any detour routes when driving in the
area.
Customers may experience a temporary service interruption while
New Jersey American Water interconnects the new main to the
distribution system. If water service is interrupted, it will be
for less than four hours and customers will be notified in advance
so they can prepare. Customers may also experience a slight
temporary discoloration of water. If this happens, customers are
advised to let a cold water tap in the home run until it is
clear.
