Construction of upgrades and improvements to the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority’s water and sewer mains located within the rights-of-way Linden Ave, Randolph Ave, Newkirk St, Bright St, Western Ave, Zabriskie St, Fifth St, Brunswick St, Third St, Monmouth St, West Hamilton Pl, Warner Ave, Rutgers Ave, West Side Ave, Broadway, in the City of Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey.

The loan amounts totaling $32,300,000.00 for the water portion and $45,739,089.00 for the sewer portion were financed by the New Jersey Water Bank (NJWB). The NJWB is a State Revolving Fund program jointly administered by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (Infrastructure Bank) and uses a combination of funds provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the DEP, and the Infrastructure Bank to provide very low interest loans to borrowers for environmental infrastructure projects.

This project will provide sanitary and storm sewer improvements to decrease the likelihood of flooding during typical rain events, as well as water quality benefits by ensuring that the water system’s water supply and water quality are not interrupted or compromised for residents and businesses located within the project limits, in the City of Jersey City.

State Revolving Fund programs around the nation provide states and communities with the resources necessary to maintain and improve the infrastructure protecting our valuable water resources nationwide.
