The proposed scope of work includes installing approximately 62,000 linear feet of water main and 900 water service connections from the northern portion of Lower Township thru the Del Haven area to a termination point along N.J.S.H. Route 47 in Middle Township. The purpose of this project is to install a water distribution system within the project limits to replace the failing individual wells. There currently exists failing individual wells that often show salt water intrusion that will be replaced with a water distribution system owned and operated by the Lower Township Municipal Utilities Authority. The system will consist of C900 polyvinyl chloride main with polyethylene services. These materials have shown to be durable and nearly maintenance free. The system will provide quantity and water pressure for both domestic use and fire protection. Currently there are no fire hydrants in the project limits. Fire hydrants are needed to provide the fire department a reliable water source.
