Notice of Construction – Test Pitting Phase 1 – Mt. Tabor

Lead and Galvanized Water Service Line Replacement Program
Test Pitting Program Phase 1 – Mt. Tabor

As part of the Township’s ongoing Lead and Galvanized Water Service Line Program, we will be performing exploratory test pits throughout Mt. Tabor. Test pitting, also known as utility potholing or daylighting, is an excavation process that involves making a series of small excavations in to order accurately locate underground utility lines to determine location, horizontal position, depth, material type and assess subsurface characteristics. The project has been awarded to D. Torluccio Landscaping, LLC.

Construction is currently scheduled to begin on or about May 5, 2025 and is expected to last until July 14, 2025. Work hours will be from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday. We are not anticipating any interruption in water service. Should an incident arise during construction and emergency repairs are required, water may be temporarily interrupted until repairs are completed and service restored. Each test pit will be inspected, backfilled, restored and open to traffic by the end of each work day.

Traffic Flow and Accessibility:

For the public and contractor’s safety, traffic restrictions and/or lane closures will occur during work hours. Advanced notice will be provided prior to any driveway access restrictions. The Parsippany Police Department will be on site during road closures for traffic control.

Noise and Site Maintenance:

As with any construction project, noise will be unavoidable with this project. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and cooperation. The project site will be maintained and cleaned each afternoon prior to the contractor completing their daily work.

Should you have any questions or concerns you may contact Kevin Busund, Assistant Water Superintendent, at 973-263-7082, Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 3:00 PM. We thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Each year, the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills (PTH) Water Department is pleased to present its annual Consumer Confidence Report. The link to this report is on this page in the right column. The purpose of this report is to provide the water consumers of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills with a greater understanding of the quality of our drinking water and the system that delivers the water from the source to the user.

Responsibilities

The water utility operates, controls and maintains the Township’s water supply and distribution system, wells, well fields and all equipment and accessories for the treatment, distribution, conservation and protection of the Township water supply and water services.

The division is also responsible for the reading of meters, as well as the maintenance and services of all fire hydrants in the Township.

Water Source

The Parsippany - Troy Hills Water System is a groundwater- based system. Groundwater (or well water) is stored below the surface of the earth in large gravel deposits or deep porous rocks called aquifers. Groundwater is purified naturally as it filters through layers of soil, clay, rock and sand. This process known as “percolation” takes years to complete. As a result, Parsippany’s drinking water requires less treatment than surface water.

Water Quality

To ensure that the water serving our community is of the highest quality, Parsippany’s Water Department monitors and tests for physical, chemical, and bacterial contaminants in the water. The Water Department is not content with simply providing water to all of its residents and businesses. The Water Department is constantly improving the system to enhance the water quality, reinforce the supply of water and upgrade the distribution of water throughout the system.
