New Jersey American Water Invests $1 Million in Linden Infrastructure

New Jersey American Water will replace approximately 1,200 feet of aging water main in Linden starting this month. The company will upgrade the aging 6-inch water lines that were installed as far back as the 1920s with new 12-inch ductile iron main along East Gibbons Street from North Wood Avenue to Washington Avenue. The project also includes replacing fire hydrants and utility-owned service lines along the pipeline route. Additionally, New Jersey American Water will replace any customer-owned service line that has been identified as lead or galvanized as part of a statewide initiative to remove all lead and galvanized service lines by 2031.
