Beginning this month, New Jersey American Water will be
investing over $5.8 million in new water mains in its service areas
in Morris, Somerset and Union Counties. The approximate 20,800 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.
New Jersey American Water will be working along the following
streets:
- Valley Road, from Mountain Avenue to
Passaic Avenue in Long Hill
- North Finley Avenue, from Orchard Place
to Oak Street in Bernards Township
- East Oak Street, from Finley Avenue to
Maple Avenue in Bernards Township
- Central Avenue, from South Street to
Springfield Avenue in New Providence
"With the installation of the new water mains, New Jersey
American Water customers should experience increased water flows
for residences and fire protection, and continued improvement in
reliability," stated Thomas Shroba, senior director of
Operations, North Region. "These water main improvements are
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."
Shroba added that this work is being coordinated with the
townships and counties so that the main replacements are completed
ahead of their scheduled pavement resurfacing projects for this
year. Construction and street restoration will be completed in the
spring and summer of 2017.
New Jersey American Water is committed to the safety of its
employees and advises pedestrians and drivers to please take
caution in the vicinity of work sites.
