Description

OCEAN CITY, NJ — New Jersey American Water is replacing cast iron water pipes with a new ductile iron main along areas of 10th Street and Haven Avenue. About 3,300 feet of cast iron pipes will be replaced on East 10th Street (from Palen Avenue to Haven Avenue) and Haven Avenue (from Ninth Street to 11th Street). The cast iron pipes were installed in the 1910s. The project also includes replacing six fire hydrants and 80 utility-owned service lines along the pipeline route. The project is designed to provide customers with safe, reliable water service. Pioneer Pipe Contractors began work on Monday and expects the project to be completed within about two months. Work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Work outside of these hours is not expected unless required to maintain the project schedule. Final street restorations will be completed in the fall of 2022. Keep up to date with what's happening in your community by subscribing to your local Patch newsletter here.
