Project Information
As part of the Township’s continuing capital improvement program, existing 6 and 8-inch diameter cast iron water mains in the Vernor Estates Subdivision are being replaced by High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) lines equivalent to 8-inch or greater cast iron lines. The scope of work includes replacing the aging water mains, replacing and adding hydrants and valves, replacing the water service lines within the right-of-way, and installing new stop boxes. The construction method selected for the project is pre-chlorinated pipe bursting. Pre-chlorinated pipe bursting is less disruptive than traditional open cut water main replacement. These water system enhancements will replace deteriorating lines installed nearly 60 years ago, provide the residents with a more reliable water system, improve water flow, and lessen the chances of water service loss due to emergency water system repairs. Importantly, the project will be completed prior to start of the road SAD project taking place in 2026.
