WOODBINE — The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Parks and Forestry, has issued Woodbine the necessary construction permits for the long-awaited project to provide municipal water service through the Woodbine Municipal Utilities Authority to Belleplain State Forest, according to a release from Mayor William Pikolycky.
The project will be going out to bid shortly, with an anticipated construction date of early July. Churchill Consulting Engineers of Berlin, NJ, will be designing and advertising for bids for construction of this watermain extension. The approximately $1 million project will replace three water supply wells serving the State Forest’s buildings and camping areas.
The existing wells will be abandoned as per NJDEP regulations and the associated storage tanks, pumps, and equipment will be removed. The municipal tie-in will follow Route 550 to the forest and thence to the forest entrance road. The approximate distance of this proposed new water main is two and a half miles.
“Belleplain State Forest expanded by acquiring 700 acres in the Borough; Woodbine is now expanding its water service into the State Forest, continuing this partnership, which began with the bikepath/park trail continuum,”noted Pikolycky. “This project will also include expansion of water service to several additional Borough residences.”
