With approval of its Energy Strong program, Public Service Electric & Gas Co. (PSE&G) is upgrading gas facilities in Fair Lawn and Ridgewood.
The utility will be installing new gas mains, as well as upgrading associated service lines that carry the gas to homes and businesses. Beginning on or about July 28, work will take place Monday through Saturday between the hours of 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., conditions permitting. The project is expected to be complete by the end of the year.
Customers will be notified when work is about to begin in their area. This upgrade is part of PSE&G’s recently approved Energy Strong program to strengthen and protect the state’s electric and gas infrastructure from severe weather.
The impacted streets in Fair Lawn include 1st Street, 2nd Street between Morlot Avenue and 4th Street, 3rd Street between Bellair Avenue and Alyson Street, 4th Street between 2nd Street and Morlot Avenue, 4th Street between Berdan Avenue and Lyons Avenue, 5th Street between Morlot Avenue and Alyson Street, 6th Street between Morlot Avenue and Alyson Street, Alyson Street between 3rd Street and 6th Street, Arnot Place, Bellair Avenue between Arnot Place and 1st Street, Berdan Avenue to 1st Street, Bush Place, Canger Place, Chittenden Road, Dewey Place, Essex Place, Fairhaven Place between Chittenden Road and Cyril Avenue, Hamlin Court to Canger Place, Lambert Road between 1st Street and 4th Street, Lyons Avenue between 1st Street and River Road, Morlot Avenue between Passaic River and River Road, Plymouth Drive between Fairhaven Place and Ivy Lane and River Road to Morlot Avenue.
As part of Energy Strong, PSE&G will replace 250 miles of older cast iron main with new plastic pipe in or near flood areas throughout its service territory. This year the utility will replace the first 88 miles, with the remainder scheduled for replacement in 2015. These new pipes will prevent water from entering the mains, increasing the reliability of gas service in these locations.

I think the p s e & g should go back to hiring traffic control workers. it would be a big savings to all of us. we do not need to pay police dept’s 100 bucks an hour to sit in a car. talk about a big fat waste.
