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.
New Jersey American Water is committed to the safety of its
employees and contractors, and advises pedestrians and drivers to
please take caution in the vicinity of work sites.
