New Jersey American Water is investing nearly $4.2 million in
new water mains in its service areas in North Plainfield and
Cranford. The approximate 12,430 feet of aging water mains has
reached the end of its useful life and will be replaced with
ductile iron pipes. In addition, New Jersey American Water will
also be installing 870 feet of new water main on Parkview Avenue in
North Plainfield.
New Jersey American Water will be working along the following

In North Plainfield:

Brook Avenue

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 in

will be completed in the fall of 2017. Construction in Cranford
will be completed by the end of April/early May and final street
restoration will be completed in late spring of 2017.
