Page 4 THE VILLADOM TIMES III • March 16, 2011 Area PSE&G has reported that its crews remain on schedule with the upgrade of the underground electric transmission facilities from the Waldwick Switching Station to the South Mahwah Substation. According to PSE&G, this project will help ensure safe and reliable electric service for residents and business owners in the area. PSE&G advises residents, business owners, and local commuters of the remaining timeline for the project. The following is an overview of the remaining project activities taking place within roadways that impact travel activities: The new cable circuit installation process is currently underway at each manhole location. This is generally a two- to three-day job. Installation of new cable in Allendale is scheduled to conclude on March 14. New cable installation will take place in Ramsey from March 12 through 28 Utility provides update on local upgrade project and in Mahwah from March 26 to April 6. Subsequent cable installation, the splicing process, will be in each manhole with a splice vehicle located over the manhole for approximately seven days. Splicing is scheduled within Allendale from now until March 22, in Ramsey from March 16 to April 12, and in Mahwah from April 8 to April 28. After splicing, additional project tasks will be completed within the electric stations so the circuit can be returned to service. Once this is complete and the circuit is returned to service, workers will need to enter each manhole one more time to apply protective tape to the pipe. This is expected to take one to two days per manhole, and is anticipated to take place during the third and fourth weeks of May. At this point, the project will be complete. Many of these activities are weather sensitive and scheduled dates are subject to change during the construction process. Even with this year’s winter weather, which caused delays and affected many local businesses and area residents, the project remains scheduled for completion in May thanks to the combined efforts and cooperation with local municipalities and area residents, PSE&G reported.
