Lead Service Line Replacement in Camden, NJ

Why notices are being sent

Every New Jersey water system must classify each service line and replace lead and galvanized-requiring-replacement services. If your address is listed as lead, galvanized or unknown, you may receive a letter about it.

Confirming the material

We expose the line near the curb stop to see what it's made of. That gives you and your provider a confirmed answer before any money is spent on replacement.

What replacement involves

We install a new copper line from the curb stop into the building and coordinate with your provider so its side is done in step. Where possible we pull the pipe underground between two small pits.

• Curb-stop test pit
• New copper service line
• Foundation entry and shutoff valve
• Pressure test and inspection
• Sidewalk and yard restoration

Sidewalks and street frontage

On many city properties the service runs under a public sidewalk. We open only what's necessary and restore it to city standards.

Sewer coordination

Camden's combined sewer system is also operated under contract by American Water. If your sewer lateral needs attention, we can look at it while the ground is open.

Permits

We file with the City of Camden, coordinate with your water provider and schedule inspection.

Cost

Programs differ by provider. Ask yours how the private side is handled; if the cost is yours, we offer a free written estimate.

Emergency service

Crews are available around the clock for water and sewer emergencies.
