Cranford Residents May Need To Open Homes To Checks: See Why

CRANFORD, NJ — Over the next few weeks, consultants may need to enter homes as they perform 136 test hole sites for water lines around the community, the Township of Cranford said.

Con Quest, Inc. will be performing evaluations of different water service materials as part of New Jersey American Water's Lead Service Line Replacement Program.

The research will help identify utility and customer side needs so any lead or galvanized lines can be replaced by 2031 as is required under state and federal law.

New Jersey American Water advised the Township that service agents may need to enter homes in order to conduct brief interior checks of pipe materials.

According to the company, workers from CDM Smith and ConQuest who are acting as consultants will have badges to identify themselves.

There is no cost to residents for this service. To see a list of addresses (subject to change) where the tests will be taking place, visit the Township's website.
