New Jersey American Water Lays Out Plans to Fix Swimming River Pipeline
The project will span 8 months and cost $9.5 million.
After a pipe failure in June at the New Jersey American Water treatment plant, many Monmouth County residents found themselves boiling water or conserving for neighboring towns. Months later, NJAW has a $9.5 million plan to fix the busted pipes on Swimming River Road in Lincroft and a contingency plan for future emergencies. Follow our coverage, from the broken pipelines to boil water advisories and water-use restrictions. Officials at NJAW could not comment about what they call "the event," which occurred on June 29 when three main pipes burst and collapsed into the reservoir, cutting off the raw water intake to the treatment plant. The incident is currently under investigation by the Board of Public Utilities. The BPU allowed NJAW to …

Easing of Water Restrictions Good News for Monmouth County Lawns
New Jersey American Water customers can now use sprinklers for outdoor watering but remain on an odd-even schedule.
Relief is in sight for parched lawns and wilting annuals across Monmouth County with the further easing of outdoor watering restrictions that have been in place since a water main break in June. New Jersey American Water announced Thursday that sprinklers can now be used for watering but the odd-even schedule that was imposed July 8 remains in effect "for the foreseeable future," according to a release. “Temporary repairs at our Swimming River Water Treatment Plant were completed last weekend and over the last few days, our ability to provide water to our customers in Monmouth County has been restored,” said Stephen P. Schmitt, vice president of operations for New Jersey American Water. The odd/even watering schedule entails: • Outdoor …

Gary, that's not accurate. A brown lawn WILL come back once watering is reintroduced, provided foot traffic was kept to a minimum during the dry period. Ask any grounds keeper. I'm not sure about your EPA study. Do you have a link? more ›

Water Restrictions Remain in Place; Odd-Even Watering to Come Next
Excessive heat and increased demand keep restrictions imposed on New Jersey American Water customers in place.
The combination of the recent excessive heat and higher system demands -- despite restrictions in place -- has forced New Jersey American Water to stick with limiting outdoor water use for its customers. According to a release from the water company on Saturday: "In conjunction with NJDEP, we will continue to monitor the system production and key indicators throughout the day to ensure that an incremental approach to lifting restrictions will not jeopardize the outstanding progress we have made with the restoration efforts. But because of the excessive heat and higher system demands, we cannot make a change at this time." A 24-inch main service line to Middletown, which was recently installed and put into service, needs to be monitored for…

Outdoor Water Ban Lifted for Some in Monmouth County
New Jersey American Water Co. customers still under strict non-watering mandate.
Nearly a week after the collapse of three large water pipes resulted in a regional water emergency, Monmouth County officials have lifted an outdoor watering ban for all non-New Jersey American Water Co. (NJAWC) customers, according to a press release issued by the county. However, the mandatory outdoor watering ban remains in effect for all NJAWC customers in order to maintain water pressure and supply throughout the lines as repairs continue. “Even though the ban has been lifted for many residents, public safety officials urge everyone to continue conserving water,” Freeholder Director John P. Curley said in the release. “We look forward to further progress in the days ahead.” The ongoing water emergency means the following for Monmouth …

Hi LFAB, I totally agree with you. This is 100% negligent and reckless on the part of the NJAWC. This never should have happened in the first place because after Hurricane Irene they were aware of this problem. Maybe we should all get together and start a class action lawsuit if they don't start taking care of this problem permanently. Their rates are crazy high and their service/company is crazy… more ›

Need Water? Go To Middletown HS North
Motorists can drive up to tent and an NJ American Water employee will put a case in the car.

At a press conference at Wolf Hill Recreation Area in Oceanport, Gov. Chris Christie said full water service should be restored by July 4th.
Full water service to Monmouth County residents isn't expected until July 4th, with temporary service being restored in the next two days, Gov. Chris Christie said at a press conference at Wolf Hill Recreation Area in Oceanport. Christie, on hand to discuss the broken water main that resulted in a water shortage and boil-water advisory for 22 Monmouth County towns with New Jersey American Water and county officials, asked all county residents to conserve water and warned that authorities will be on the lookout for those using water for non-essential purposes. "This is about the lousiest time of the year this could possibly happen," Christie told the assembled crowd of reporters and county officials. "Often times these problems happen when…
