VENTNOR – Cleaning efforts are continuing this week on the section of Wellington Avenue in Ventnor City where a sewer main leak was repaired. Cleaning was conducted in storm sewers and on side streets. ACUA’s street sweeper has been onsite to clear debris.

ACUA’s contractors are working to end the current detour and safely open the closed section of Wellington Avenue as soon as possible.

Paving is planned for Wednesday, March 24. This temporary repair will enable traffic to utilize Wellington Avenue. This repair will be amended with a final resurfacing once proper settlement and a full evaluation of the roadway is conducted after the summer traffic has ended.

Water samples were taken Tuesday and results will be shared when they are made available Wednesday afternoon.
