NJ I-Bank and NJDEP Helping to Improve New Jersey's Infrastructure, One Project at a Time
The Willingboro MUA recently closed on a $1.90 million loan from the NJ Water Bank to improve the Edge Lane water tank, an elevated 1,000,000-gallon potable water storage tank erected in 1968. The project will include maintenance repairs, safety system improvements, blasting and coating the tank interior and exterior surfaces, and the installation of a 24" manway. A manway is a standard feature in industrial tanks consisting of an access opening built into a tank or vessel that allows workers to enter for inspection, maintenance cleaning, or repair. Installing a manway improves worker safety and access for future maintenance. Electrical, ground fault, and lighting systems will also be upgraded. For health and safety reasons, the tank needs maintenance to meet drinking water standards.
