$715 Thousand Investment in Cinnaminson Water Infrastructure New Jersey American Water Replaces Aging Water Mains under Seven Streets VOORHEES, NJ (July 25, 2016) - Work to replace 3,780 feet of water mains from the 1960s on seven different streets is scheduled to begin in Cinnaminson this week. The aging 6-inch concrete, and 4-inch and 6-inch cast iron mains will be replaced with new 8-, 6- and 4-inch ductile iron pipes. New Jersey American Water is investing more than $715,000 on this project that, when completed, should improve water service reliability and increase water flows for both household use and firefighting. Weather permitting, the work should be finished by the end of September, though final paving will be completed this fall by the Township of Cinnaminson. The water main improvements are part of New Jersey American Water's multimillion dollar program to accelerate the renewal of water infrastructure that is reaching the end of its useful life in more than 100 communities across the state.

The streets involved in this project are:

  • Hemlock Lane; between Walnut Place to Lilac Lane

  • Lilac Lane; between Hemlock Lane to Willow Drive

  • Fernwood Place; between Willow Drive to Boxwood Lane

  • Hunter Street; between Union Landing Road to Pear Avenue

  • Davis Avenue; between Hunter Street to End of Roadway
