Work Continues On Broken Water Pipe In East Brunswick High School: Super Gives Update

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ – The Superintendent of East Brunswick School District provided residents with an update on the repair work to the burst water line.

East Brunswick High School is currently remote after a water line supplying the high school burst underground beneath one of the corridors.

Multiple contractors continue to work on the high school site currently, Superintendent Victor Valeski told the community.

“Excavation has been completed and the water line has been located. A fracture in the line has been identified and repaired,” Valeski said.

“The next step is to pressurize the system to ensure we do not have additional breaks. After flushing the entire water system, the excavated pit will be refilled and topped with a new concrete slab.”

Valeski said school administrators continue to work toward reopening the high school for students and staff next Monday, “depending on successful completion of all testing results.”

Meanwhile, the SAT test scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023, has been relocated to the Churchill Junior High School, Valeski said.

Room assignments for the SAT test will be posted outside the building on the windows of the front entrance. Testing begins at 8 a.m.
