CRANFORD TOWNSHIP LOAN CLOSING

The Township of Cranford closed last week on a $2,210,080 construction loan with the NJ Water Bank to install 3,700 linear feet of storm sewer along Riverside Drive and Claremont Place to convey stormwater runoff. The project will reduce flooding in the Township which is next to the Rahway River. To accommodate the storm sewer, the Township proposes to relocate approximately 974 linear feet of sanitary sewer. The effective reduction of stormwater will improve resiliency against future storms and protect nearby drinking water and sanitary sewer infrastructure from severe weather events.
