In an effort to continue to ensure reliability of water service for coastal-area customers, New Jersey American Water is investing approximately $2.5 million to install new water mains within Rumson and under the Shrewsbury River in Rumson and Sea Bright. This largescale improvement project includes the installation of approximately 1,950 feet of 16-inch high-density polyethylene pipe, which will lay about 47 feet under the bottom of the river.
New Jersey American Water is working with Inter-Con Construction and J. F. Kiely Construction of Long Branch, N.J., to complete the direction drilling for installing the new pipe under the river.
