The Replacement of a Water Main in Downtown Toms River will Begin on Monday.
Plan extra travel time if you have to go in downtown Toms River in the next days: On Monday, a $5 million effort to replace water mains will begin.
According to Suez, the water utility, the project will include work on Washington Street, Hooper Avenue, Hyers Street, Robbins Street, Allen Street, Maiden Lane, and Brooks Road. Suez officials expect daytime and nighttime project work, traffic detours, and intermittent, temporary parking restrictions to complete the project as swiftly and safely as possible, according to a news release from the business.
According to the firm, the project would replace 3 miles of water main and renew around 230 individual services.
"We discovered that some of the oldest water mains in the project region, some of which are over 60 years old, as well as one dating back to 1918, are in desperate need of replacement," said Jim Mastrokalos, Suez's director of operations. The existing mains will be replaced with 6-, 8-, and 12-inch ductile iron pipes, which he claims will "enhance service and construct a durable, sustainable water system that the downtown community can rely on for years to come." "As the project develops," Suez officials added, "we will provide ample information to customers, including when to expect short-term interruptions of water delivery and heavy equipment in the region."The project is planned to be finished by December, including milling and paving, with full restoration taking place in April 2022.
