New Jersey American Water Investing $2 Million in Millburn
June 01 2018 - 4:44PM
Business Wire
New Jersey American Water will begin replacing approximately
6,300 feet of aging water main in its Millburn service area. The
company is replacing main that was installed in the 1920s and 1930s
with new ductile iron main along Old Short Hills Road, from
Parsonage Hill Road to Silver Spring Road. The project also
includes replacing twelve fire hydrants and 53 utility-owned
service lines along the pipeline route.
This $2 million investment will continue to improve water
service reliability and increase water flows for household
consumption and fire protection in this community. This improvement
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 in more than 100 communities across the
state.
Weather permitting, New Jersey American Water’s local qualified
contractor, Montana Construction, will begin work next week and be
completed by the end of August. Work on Parsonage Hill Road and
related detours will be suspended during this project. Work hours
will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Work outside
of these hours is not expected unless required to maintain project
schedule. Final street restorations will be completed by Essex
County in the fall as part of their annual paving program. All
final restorations of curbs, sidewalk and landscaping will be
completed in September or within 30 days after final project
completion.
For the public’s and workers’ safety, traffic restrictions
and/or alternating traffic patterns are likely to occur during work
hours. All emergency vehicles and local traffic will be allowed
access during construction. New Jersey American Water values the
safety of its workers and advises drivers and pedestrians to take
caution in the vicinity of work sites.
