Business Wire
New Jersey American Water will be investing approximately
$800,000 to install new water mains along North Avenue from Forest
Road to Morse Avenue in Fanwood. The project includes the
installation of approximately 2,720 feet of new 12-inch ductile
iron pipes to replace aging pipes, as well as 55 utility-owned
service lines and two new fire hydrants along the pipeline route.
This investment project will continue to improve water service
reliability and increase water flows for household consumption and
fire protection in this community.
“This project represents a critical investment in support of our
multimillion dollar commitment to replace aging infrastructure in
order to continue provide customers with safe, reliable water
service,” said Bob Schaefer, Senior Director of Operations for New
Jersey American Water’s Central Region.
Construction will begin the week of January 30, and will be
performed on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Work on weekends and
evenings is not expected unless required to maintain the project
schedule. Weather permitting, the project should be completed by
the end of April. Final paving and restoration will be completed in
the fall of 2017.
Traffic control will be coordinated with the Fanwood Police
Department. Service for trash, mail, school buses and emergency
vehicles will be maintained during traffic disruptions. New Jersey
American Water advises pedestrians and drivers to take caution in
the vicinity of the work sites, obey traffic signs and follow any
detour routes when driving in the area.
Customers may experience a slight temporary discoloration of
water when the new main is connected to the service lines. If this
happens, customers are advised to let a cold water tap in the home
run until it is clear.
