Lead Service Line Replacement in Gloucester Township, NJ

Why you may have been notified

Under New Jersey law, water utilities must inventory service line materials and replace lead and galvanized-requiring-replacement lines. If your address is classified as lead, galvanized or unknown, your provider may have sent a letter.

What we replace

We handle the private section, from the curb stop to the house. That includes the new line, the connection through the foundation and a new shutoff valve, timed with the utility's work on its section.

• Test pit to confirm material
• New copper service line
• Foundation entry and shutoff valve
• Pressure test and inspection
• Lawn and driveway restoration

Confirming before replacing

If your line is listed as unknown, we expose it at the curb stop first. Sometimes the answer is copper, and you're done.

Trenchless where it works

We prefer pulling new pipe underground between two small pits. When roots, other utilities or ground conditions make that impractical, we dig a narrow trench and restore it.

Sewer while you're at it

Gloucester Township's Sewer Utilities Department handles sewer. If your lateral is the same age as your water line and the yard is open anyway, a camera inspection is a sensible addition.

Permits

We file the Gloucester Township permit, coordinate with Aqua or New Jersey American Water, and schedule inspection.

Who pays

Programs differ by provider. Ask yours first; if the cost is on you, we'll give you a free written estimate.
