TOMS RIVER MUA LOAN CLOSING

The Toms River Municipal Utilities Authority (TRMUA) recently closed on a $3.1 million loan with the NJ Water Bank for sanitary sewer rehabilitation. The TRMUA has rigorous preventative maintenance programs with ongoing studies & inspections that have indicated that maintenance and upgrades/rehabilitations are necessary. The TRMUA has a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to ensure efficient operations while preventing failures that could result in negative effects to the surrounding water bodies which contribute to the Barnegat Bay. Since the TRMUA began aggressive rehabilitation of pipes and manholes beginning in 2010, there has been an approximate 400 MG/year reduction in metered treatment flows. This project consists of the removal and replacement of pipe sections, force mains and manholes.
