awarded the operation and maintenance contract for the Township of
South Orange Village water services in Essex County, N.J.
The award, which is valued at approximately $10 million over the
10 year term of the contract, follows a period of negotiations
after the company’s Contract Services Group was selected through a
competitive process. American Water Contract Services is part of
the company’s market-based American Water Enterprises
subsidiary.
The contract includes operations and maintenance for the
Village’s 4,750 connections, 60 miles of water main, 600 hydrants,

the Village in implementing system improvements to help ensure high
quality service to the community.”

increased efficiency of operations and leveraging of expertise
as we look to make needed improvements to the system to
provide continued reliability for our residents," added fellow
Village Trustee, Walter Clarke.
In a separate agreement in 2015, the Village’s board of
trustees awarded a contract for bulk water sales to New Jersey

new interconnect, booster station and other distribution assets,
which are scheduled to be in place by Jan. 1, 2017.
