CAMDEN – New Jersey American Water will install approximately 1,200 feet of new wastewater main in Howell this winter. The installation will take place along Yellowbrook Road from Charleston Street to New Jersey American Water’s Yellowbrook Water Treatment Plant in Howell, NJ.
Additionally, New Jersey American Water will make upgrades to its Yellowbrook Water Treatment Plant including the installation of a new pump station and force main.
