Crews are starting work this week on the 500 block of Prince Street, and next week they’ll move to the 500 block of Willow Street, as part of New Jersey’s statewide Water Service Line Replacement Program. This program focuses on replacing water service lines made of lead or older galvanized materials to ensure residents have safe, reliable water.
While our system does not have any lead service lines, some older galvanized pipes are being replaced as part of this important project.
Residents in the work areas may notice construction activity, equipment, and temporary traffic changes while crews complete the work. We appreciate your patience as these upgrades are made to maintain a high-quality water system for everyone.
