CAMDEN CITY, N.J. – FEB. 2020 – New Jersey American Water will replace approximately 11,300 feet of aging water main in Haddonfield and Haddon Heights beginning this week. The project also includes replacing 19 fire hydrants and 230 utility- owned service lines along the pipeline route. The company will upgrade the aging water lines, installed as far back as the late 1700s, with new, larger ductile iron main along the following streets:
• West Redman Avenue from approximately 768 Redman Avenue to Linden Avenue, Haddonfield
Peyton Avenue from West Redman Avenue to Woodland Avenue, Haddonfield
Linden Avenue from Kings Highway to Elm Avenue, Haddonfield
First Avenue from Garden Street to Chews Landing Road, Haddon Heights
Crest Avenue from Mansfield Avenue to Chews Landing Road, Haddon Heights
Garden Street from First Avenue to Crest Avenue, Haddon Heights
This $2.3 million investment will continue to advance water service reliability and increase water flows for household consumption and fire protection in these communities. This improvement is part of New Jersey American Water’s multimillion- dollar initiative to accelerate the renewal of water infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life in more than 100 communities across the state.
New Jersey American Water’s local, qualified contractor, Pioneer Pipe Contractors, Inc., will begin work on or about Feb. 6 and expects to finish by the end of May, weather permitting. Work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Work outside of these hours is not anticipated unless required to maintain project schedule. Final street restorations will be completed in the summer of 2020.
