Baker Street Water Main replacement project update

New Jersey American Water is replacing approximately 2,100 feet of water main that was installed in the 1900s along Baker Street (from Ridgewood Road to Maplewood Avenue and from Dunnell Road to Burnet Street). The project also includes replacing five fire hydrants and 14 utility-owned
service lines along the pipeline route. The project represents a critical investment for the company in support of our commitment to provide customers with safe, reliable water service.
