New Jersey American Water to accelerate water infrastructure renewal

摘要

New Jersey American Water typically spends about $150 million every year on capital projects. Approximately $40 million of that is spent updating the pipes, pumps and valves that make up its nearly 9,000 miles of underground infrastructure. However, as part of a new distribution system improvement program created recently by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, New Jersey American Water has submitted a foundational filing that, if approved, will result in more than 400 infrastructure projects across the state, representing an investment of more than $140 million and more than 900 construction jobs over the next 24 months.
