Sewer Replacement Project Continues In Beach Haven West

STAFFORD, NJ — The second phase of the sewer replacement project will begin on March 15 in the Beach Haven West section of Stafford Township.

Over 8,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer pipe will be replaced, and 32 new manholes and 244 sanitary sewer laterals will be installed.

The work will take place on Jennifer Lane extending from Jennie Drive to the terminus, including cross streets Jeri Anne Drive, Muriel Drive, Mark Drive, Judy Drive, Ann Lane, Susan Lane and Cindy Drive.

During a council meeting on Tuesday, Mayor Gregory Myhre said the work will continue throughout the year. The first phase of the project removed the oldest and most deteriorated pipes in Beach Haven West last year.

“This is filed under preventative maintenance, but it must be done because you see what happens when people don't take care of their sewer pipes. They have huge problems,” said Myhre. “We’ll try to get as much of that work done as possible before Memorial Day weekend.”

P&A Construction has been awarded the project, which was part of the township's capital program.

Drainage catch basins, drainage pipe and milling will be replaced, and the above-mentioned roads will also be repaved.
