New Jersey American Water Invests $4 Million in Burlington County Infrastructure
New Jersey American Water is investing approximately $4 million to upgrade water infrastructure in Burlington County this year. The company is replacing approximately two and a half miles of aging cast iron water main in Delanco and Cinnaminson. Both systems, originally installed in the early 1900s, will be upgraded with new 8-inch ductile iron main along the following streets:
Delanco
- Illinois Avenue
- Iowa Avenue
- Kansas Avenue
- West Avenue
Cinnaminson
- Boxwood Lane
- Chestnut Lane
- Holly Lane
- Laurel Drive
- Lilac Lane
- Walnut Place
- Willow Drive
This $4 million investment will increase water flows for household consumption and fire protection in these communities. These improvements are part of New Jersey American Water’s multimillion-dollar initiative to accelerate the renewal of water infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life in more than 100 communities across the state.
Weather permitting, New Jersey American Water’s local contractor, Pioneer Pipe Contractors, Inc. began work Cinnaminson in mid-June and will begin in Delanco in July. Work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and work is expected to be completed by the end of December 2025. Work outside of these hours is not expected unless required to maintain the project schedule, and final street restorations will take place by the end of 2025.
Project timelines are subject to change due to a variety of factors, including weather and availability of supplies. New Jersey American Water encourages customers to take a few moments to update their contact information and preferences in their MyWater account. Customers must opt in for general alerts to receive local main replacement and other non-emergency notifications via phone call, text or email. Individuals who are not New Jersey American Water account holders but would like to receive alerts and notifications from the company can also sign up by visiting awcodered.com or by texting WATER to 99411.
For the public’s and workers’ safety, traffic restrictions and/or alternating traffic patterns are likely to occur during work hours. All emergency vehicles and local traffic will be allowed access during construction. New Jersey American Water values the safety of its workers and advises drivers and pedestrians to take caution in the vicinity of work sites.
