New Jersey American Water Invests $1.8 Million for Main Replacement
Beginning this week, New Jersey American Water will be investing approximately $1.8 million in new water mains in its service area of Lakewood. The approximate 5,400 feet of new pipe replaces water main that was installed as far back as the 1920s. The aging 4-, 6- and 8-inch water lines will be replaced with 12-inch ductile iron pipes.
“With the installation of the new water mains, our customers in this rapidly growing area should experience increased water flows for residences and fire protection, and continued improvement in reliability,” stated Kevin Keane, senior director of Operations for New Jersey American Water’s Coastal Region. “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.”
The project will be along Ocean Avenue (Route 88) from Cherry Street to Park Avenue. Construction will be finished by the end of April and final street restoration will be completed by the New Jersey Department of Transportation in the summer of 2017.
