Cliffwood Beach Sewer Main Improvements, May 2011

The intersection of North Concourse and West Concourse in Cliffwood Beach was blocked with construction equipment for about a week or so for $120,000 in capital improvements to the sewer system. The work seems to have involved the pipes between the Cliffwood Beach Pumping Station and the manhole in West Concourse. I'm sure the homeowners along the detour, especially those along Brookside and Wayside, are delighted that the work is completed.
