Quincy Avenue 12-Inch Water Line Replacement Completed by Lakehurst
Due to the excellent performance by Brannan Construction Company, Lakehurst was able to complete the installation of approximately 5,000 feet of 12-inch water line with-in budget and sooner than the expected schedule for completion. The replacement of this waterline is in conjunction with Jefferson County’s Quincy Road Widening Project beginning later this fall. This waterline project extended from S. Beech Way to S. Swadley Court, in W. Quincy Avenue. While there were some minor delays in traffic movement, detours, and some periodic water outages during construction, both Lakehurst, Brannan, and the County tried to minimize these disruptions when possible. This waterline was replaced because the District experienced several water breaks on this critical distribution main in the past and completing this project prior to the County road rehabilitation project saved District residents several thousands of dollars in construction costs and minimizes the need for the repair of future, costly main breaks.
While Lakehurst understands this project caused some delays and detours of the travelling public that use this route on daily, both the County and Lakehurst appreciated your patience during this time. Current information on the road rehabilitation project is available on the Jefferson County website under Public Projects.
12 Ways to Winterize Your Home and Prevent Broken Water Pipes This Winter
There are many things that homeowners can do to make the winter months more comfortable.
- Before winterizing your sprinkler system, check for leaks and broken sprinkler heads and have them repaired to expedite your spring irrigation.
- Winterizing your sprinkler system is simple: turn water off, drain valves, and blow out with compressed air.
- Drain and disconnect your swamp cooler before temperatures drop below freezing.
- Clean your gutters; once the leaves fall, remove debris and rinse with a garden hose so melting snow and rain can drain properly.
- Clogged drains can cause water to pool and freeze, producing hazardous conditions.
- Make sure that garden hoses are disconnected from outside faucets.
- Check your furnace to make sure it’s working before the cold days of winter descend and don’t forget to change the filters.
- Insulate any gaps between the foundation and the framing of homes and insulate areas that have water pipes in outside walls to help protect against freezing.
- Seal outside leaks with weather-resistant caulk. Use masonry sealer for brick areas, which withstands the elements of weather.
- Remove screens and replace with storm windows.
- Insulated covers for outside faucets are available at hardware stores.
- Reversing your ceiling fan will push warm air down forcing it to recirculate; Blades should be turning clockwise.
- Keeping garage doors closed during very cold weather will help to prevent water pipes above the garage or in garage walls from freezing.
Landlord\Tenant Water Service Policy
- Landlords. A landlord may add and remove tenants to and from an account. Lakehurst Water will add tenants to accounts, invoice tenants, and accept payment from tenants. However, landlords are ultimately responsible to Lakehurst for any unpaid water and/or sewer service charges. Until paid, Lakehurst Water has a lien against the property served for delinquent water and sewer bills. All discrepancies between the owner and tenant regarding any portion of a bill or unpaid balance on an account must be resolved between the owner and tenant.
- Payment Arrangements. If a customer falls behind with payments, they may be eligible for one payment plan arrangement per year. Payment plans can only be set up thru the District Manager. If a tenant fails to abide by a payment arrangement, the service will be shut off and a suspension fee applied. Service will not be restored until the outstanding balance has been satisfied in full.
- Proration of Bills. Lakehurst Water is unable to prorate water bills. Landlords and tenants are responsible for proration of any water bills.
- Billing. Lakehurst Water will send water service bills to the premises/occupant. Lakehurst Water will send Landlords a notice if the account is past due.
- Account Balances. Upon entering a lease with a tenant, landlords are advised to complete an online Property Transfer Request - Landlords form at www.lakehurstwater.org. The transfer form needs to be completed a minimum of 2 days prior to the entering and exiting of tenants to avoid incurring an additional $75.00 Post Read Fee. Please note that our regular transfer fee increased to $35.00 effective May 2022.
