The NJ American Water utility has begun an ambitious project to replace water mains around town that are, in some cases, almost a hundred years old. The $4.8 million project should result in increased water pressure and water flow for many of our residents. Phase One of the project began the week of March 23rd with pipeline replacements scheduled along Martine Avenue from South Avenue to Trenton Avenue, LaGrande Avenue from Martine to McDermott Place, then Trenton Avenue and Saville Row. Phase Two begins the week of April 7th and continues all summer until just after Labor Day. The following streets will receive pipeline replacements during that period: Gere Place, Kempshall Terrace, Chetwood Terrace, Cray Terrace, Vinton Circle, Helen Street, Belvidere Avenue, Burns Way, Herbert Avenue, Marian Avenue, Second Street, First Street, Poplar Place, Klaniecki Place, MacLennan Place, Beech Avenue, LaGrande Avenue, Laurel Place, Clement Place and Winfield Place. Residents on each street will receive a week’s notice before construction begins.
