Beginning this month, New Jersey American Water will be
investing $3.1 million in new water mains in its services areas in
Morris and Somerset counties. The approximate 10,700 feet of new
pipe replaces water main that was installed as far back as the
1920s. The aging 4- and 6-inch water lines will be replaced with 8-
and 12-inch ductile iron pipes. These projects also include
replacing fire hydrants and utility-owned service lines along the
pipeline route.
"These improvements should enhance water service reliability and
water flows for residences and fire protection,” stated Tom 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."
