The Elizabethtown Gas Terrill Road Project is scheduled to begin on Monday, April 24 on Carsam Street and will continue to run through the summer. A representative from Elizabethtown Gas attended the Borough council meeting on March 21 to update the Borough on the gas main replacement projects taking place in Fanwood.
The project includes replacing and upgrading natural gas facilities including replacing aging gas mains with pipe made of a material that is more durable and less expensive to maintain, relocating gas meters from inside homes and businesses to outside and replacing service lines from the gas main in the street to the premises.
The streets being directly affected are as followed:
Belvidere Avenue
Burns Way
Carsam Street
Chetwood Terrace
Coriell Avenue
Cray Terrace
Crest Lane
Helen Street
Herbert Avenue
MacDermott Place
Marian Avenue
Robin Road
2nd Street
Terrill Road
Vinton Circle
The project will replace the gas main running down each street by digging a trench, then filling it back in once the main is replaced. The second phase of the project will involve installing new gas service lines to each, individual home. For most residents with indoor gas meters, this will mean your meter will be moved outside. It may also mean that part of your front lawn, sidewalk or driveway may be dug up to accomplish running the new service line. If that’s the case, Elizabethtown Gas promises to repair and replace any such digging to restore your property to the way it was before the work.
Elizabethtown Gas provides safe and reliable natural gas service to more than 283,000 customers across northern New Jersey. To ensure that safety and reliability are maintained, we have already made significant enhancements to portions of our natural gas distribution system and we plan to continue by replacing aging underground infrastructure with new, more modern pipes in coming years.
