New Jersey American Water Investing $9 Million on Barnegat Bay Peninsula Water Mains
New Jersey American Water announced it is currently investing over $9 million for the installation of new water mains in its service areas on Barnegat Bay Peninsula, stretching from Bay Head to Ortley Beach. The approximate 41,695 feet of new pipe replaces water main that has reached the end of its useful life and will be replaced with new ductile iron pipe.
“These projects demonstrate our commitment to provide high quality, reliable water service to our customers and represent just a few of the $350 million in system-wide upgrades we are making in 2017,” said Kevin Keane, New Jersey American Water’s senior director of Operations. “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.”
