East Brunswick Introduces $1.2M Bond Ordinance For Replacing Water Main Lines

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ – Council recently introduced a bond ordinance appropriating $1.2 million for replacing water main lines across towns.

As the township tried to keep up with its water infrastructure, they’ve come across several water lines in need of replacement.

“As we go through different sections of town doing our road paving we’ve come across water lines that need to be replaced,” business administrator Joe Criscuolo said.

“And part of this is any lead goosenecks we run into, is required by state law for us to change that and change the service.”

According to the township, “no down payment is required as the purpose authorized herein is deemed self-liquidating and the bonds and bond anticipation notes authorized herein are deductible from the gross debt of the Township.”

A public hearing on the ordinance will be held on Oct. 14.
