New Jersey American Water is preparing to invest $6 million to
replace approximately 7,000 feet of aging wastewater main in its
Lakewood service area. The company is replacing wastewater main
that has reached the end of its useful life with new main along
South Lake Drive, Kimball Road, Caranetta Drive, Sunset Road
and James Street.
"With this $6 million investment in new wastewater mains, our
customers in this rapidly growing area will experience improved
service reliability," stated Kevin Keane, senior director of
Operations for New Jersey American Water’s Coastal Region. "These
wastewater collection improvements are part of New Jersey American
Water's multimillion dollar program to accelerate the renewal of
water and wastewater infrastructure that is reaching the end of its
useful life."
New Jersey American Water’s local qualified contractor Ferreira
Construction Co. will being work in June and is expected to be
completed by the end of September. Project work hours will be
determined by Lakewood Township, with most of the work being
completed during normal daytime hours and some specific tasks
required to be completed during nighttime hours. Final street
restoration will be completed in the spring 2019.
Wastewater service to the area will be maintained during
construction. The company doesn’t anticipate any major service
disruptions; however, once the new main is installed, the
customer-owned service laterals will need to be connected to the
new wastewater main. When this work occurs, there may be a one- to
two-hour interruption of service. Residents will be notified in
advance and the day of connection if any interruption is
needed.
New Jersey American Water will be hosting an Open House for any
residents that have questions about the upcoming project on May
30th at its Lakewood Office, 100 James Street (building on the
left) from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
For the public’s and workers’ safety, traffic restrictions
and/or alternating traffic patterns are likely to occur during work
hours. Traffic control will be coordinated with the Lakewood Police
Department and sections of roads will be closed to traffic at times
with detours. Please follow detours as posted. Service for trash,
mail, school, buses and emergency vehicles will be maintained
during traffic disruptions. New Jersey American Water values the
safety of its workers and advises drivers and pedestrians to take
caution in the vicinity of work sites.
