The company says it will upgrade aging water lines, installed as far back as the 1920s, with new, 8-inch ductile iron main along First Street and Second Street from Hance Road to Chestnut Street. The project also includes replacing four fire hydrants and 40 utility-owned service lines along the pipeline route.

The improvement is part of New Jersey American Water's multimillion-dollar initiative to accelerate the renewal...
