Why this project matters:
1. Secures a stronger water network for the Passaic Valley Water System
The new 8-inch water main will provide improved flows and pressures and resiliency for customers in the project area.
2. Addressing Aging Infrastructure
The existing water main located within the Fordham Road project area is over 70 years old and is heavily tuberculated thereby inhibiting the flow. The project area has experienced water quality issues, and lower than average pressures causing significant inconvenience to our customers in the area. Replacing them is essential to ensure a reliable and efficient water supply for customers.
3. Supporting Community Growth and Development
Reliable water services are fundamental to attracting new businesses and residents, thereby contributing to the economic growth of the area. The Water Main Replacement, Fordham Road, Clifton is a strategic investment that addresses critical infrastructure needs, enhances public safety, and supports the sustainable growth of the community.
