South Jersey Gas Wins Approval For Pipeline Construction In New Jersey

Published: 16-Sep-2009

South Jersey Gas, a unit of South Jersey Industries, Inc., has received approval from New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to construct around 15-mile natural gas pipeline project which will zigzag across Gloucester, Atlantic and Cumberland counties, pressofatlanticcity.com reported. The new pipeline will guarantee enough natural gas flow from the company's western points to customers in the eastern and coastal part of its service area, as demand for natural gas is rising.

South Jersey Gas has also received approval for the debt financing of the project, of which the entire cost to build it is around $40 million.

Pipeline construction will start at the end of September 2009 and will be concluded by December 2009.

The line will start at the company's Malaga station in Franklin township, Gloucester county, and continue into Newfield Borough, then into the Atlantic county municipalities of Buena Borough and Buena Vista Township, and end in Vineland at the intersection of Union Road and Trento Avenue.
