Middlesex Water Company to Invest $10 Million in Infrastructure Upgrades
Middlesex Water Company today announced that a $10 million project to replace aging water infrastructure is scheduled to begin in the Borough of South Plainfield, New Jersey. As part of its 2017 RENEW Program, the company intends to replace five miles or 27,000 feet of water mains, as well as service lines, valves, fire hydrants and meters. The work is expected to be completed in six months and is designed to improve fire flows and overall service quality in the area.
“Through RENEW, one of several projects under our Water for Tomorrow® infrastructure investment campaign, we’re proactively replacing aging water pipe to continually strengthen our water distribution infrastructure for continued service reliability, resiliency and water quality,” said Dennis Doll, Middlesex Water President and Chief Executive Officer. “Addressing infrastructure needs — on a planned schedule — reduces the likelihood of future disruptive and costly emergency repairs.”
Middlesex Water Company’s 2017 RENEW Program is being funded through low interest loans obtained from the NJ State Revolving Fund administered by the New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
