New Jersey American Water Investing $2.7 Million in Infrastructure Improvements
New Jersey American Water is investing more than $2.7 million for new water mains throughout Burlington and Camden Counties. The work will be completed by December 31 and the 14,000 feet of new pipe replaces water main that was installed as far back as the early 1900s. The aging water lines will be replaced with ductile iron pipes.
“With the installation of the new water mains, New Jersey American Water customers should experience increased water flows for residences and fire protection, and continued improvement in reliability,” stated Carmen Tierno, senior director of Operations, Southwest Region. “The 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.”
Construction and street restoration will be completed in Spring 2017.
