New Jersey American Water will be investing $4 million in new
water mains in its service area of Loch Arbour, Asbury Park and
Allenhurst. The approximate 11,000 feet of new pipe replaces water
main that was installed as far back as the 1900s. The aging water
lines will be replaced with ductile iron pipes.
New Jersey American Water’s qualified contractor, CRJ
Contracting Corp. began the project on July 31 on the following
streets:
- Route 71 (Main Street), from
Main Avenue to Park Avenue
- Edgemont Drive, from Ocean
Avenue to Route 71 (Norwood Avenue)
- Route 71 (Norwood Avenue), from
Edgemont Drive to Cedar Avenue
"With the installation of the new water mains, our customers in
this area should experience increased water flows for residences
and fire protection, and continued improvement in reliability,"
stated Mark Fitzpatrick, New Jersey American Water Project Manager
Engineer. "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."
Fitzpatrick added that this project is being coordinated with
the New Jersey Department of Transportation so that the main
replacements are completed ahead of their scheduled pavement
resurfacing project beginning in January 2018. Scheduled work will
be completed at night, Monday through Thursday from 8 p.m. to 6
a.m. New Jersey American Water values the safety of its workers and
advises drivers and pedestrians to take caution in the vicinity of
work sites.
New Jersey American Water recently published an interactive
