Project Overview
J-U-B ENGINEERS, Inc. partnered with Millville City to address the community’s growing need for improved water storage and distribution, particularly for the upper areas of the city. The project involved the design and implementation of a new water storage tank, booster station, and transmission and distribution line improvements to establish a new upper pressure zone.
Needs Assessment and Planning
J-U-B worked closely with the City to identify and evaluate:
-
The water storage needs for the upper end of the community
-
The impacts and feasibility of different design options
-
Potential locations for the new tank, considering geotechnical risks, including a nearby fault line and debris flow path
Design and System Improvements
The final design included:
-
A new water storage tank strategically placed for optimal service and safety
-
A booster station to support the new pressure zone
-
Upgrades to transmission and distribution lines
-
Reconfiguration of existing pressure zones and parts of the distribution system for more efficient and reliable service to residents
Funding and Financial Support
To minimize financial impact on the community, J-U-B collaborated with state agencies to secure project funding that would not place an undue burden on Millville residents.
Construction and Compliance
Following the receipt of funding, J-U-B completed detailed design work, managed contractor procurement, and provided construction observation services to ensure the project was built in accordance with design specifications and regulatory standards
Outcome
The project successfully enhanced Millville City’s water infrastructure, creating a sustainable and reliable upper pressure zone, improving service delivery, and addressing critical safety and environmental concerns related to the tank’s location.
