Investigative work is continuing at all three embankments (the North Dam, the South Dam and the Dike). Cultural resource consultants are on site digging shovel test pits to determine whether the soil contains any cultural remains that are not visible on the surface. This work is being done in restricted areas of the reservoir property and does not affect the public’s use of it.

The Authority has advertised an Invitation for Bids for the first construction project: grouting of the abutments at the North and South Dams. Proposals are due by mid-February. Interested bidders must be prequalified. All of the necessary bidding information can be found at http://www.njwsa.org/procurement.html. Construction dates will be announced here when they are established.
