More Infrastructure Upgrades

A Note from Mayor Jason C. Karr
 
More Infrastructure Upgrades
 
PSE&G will be strengthening their infrastructure with new high pressure gas mains and updated house services.  These important upgrades will be replacing nearly 100 year old mains to better serve each resident. The project is to start in roughly 3 weeks and will be starting on Granniss Avenue from Mountain Way to Sun Valley Way.  This portion of the project should be completed before school starts.  Police will be on scene to assist residents during the hours of operation.  The other roads to be included in this project are Borough Terrace, Keenan Place, Watnong Drive, Madison Avenue, Washington Avenue, Idlewild Drive, Juniper Drive, Winding Way and W. Hanover Avenue. Residents will be notified prior to the commencement of work by PSE&G on each street. The entire project should be completed by mid to late Spring 2027.  We will keep you informed of the progress moving forward.
