- Inspection and maintenance of the 27” sewer main and associated manholes, which historically experienced sanitary sewer overflows and are critical infrastructure for delivering flow to the Somerset Raritan Valley Sewerage Authority, to help prevent negative customer and/or environmental impacts;
- Purchase of a sewer camera truck to properly inspect the system to inform maintenance and investment needs and investigate customer issues; and
- A robust, comprehensive analysis of the entire wastewater system to inform future capital investment needs.
Further, we will acquire GPS coordinates on all existing above-ground or at-grade assets such as manholes, valves, and clean outs. These coordinates would be used to build a GIS mapping database to upload into our online work management system, MapCall.
New Jersey American Water will additionally evaluate the condition of any sewer main that falls within the limits of a road reconstruction project initiated by the Borough, similar to our process with the water system. If we elect to replace or rehabilitate wastewater assets, the work would be coordinated with the Borough ahead of the planned road reconstruction project.
New Jersey American Water has a long history of investing in the Borough. Since 2012, New Jersey American Water has invested more than $12.3 million into our water distribution system in the Borough, replacing aging water main, company side service lines, and public fire hydrants. That amounts to over $1 million a year and approximately $3,240 per customer over the course of the last ten years. We are invested in your community on the water side and look forward to extending that investment to the wastewater side.
