Sump Pump Mitigation Project
The Borough is currently undertaking a project to mitigate and eliminate the street level draining of sump pumps. The project is anticipated to be completed before the summer season. All areas disturbed during the construction process will be restored to their pre-construction condition. The project incorporates most if not all of the streets in town to some degree.
Van Cleef engineering summary of project:
Multiple
residences in Lavallette have sump pumps that discharge
onto the streets with the intent of flowing over land to
the existing drainage system. However, due to the long
overland distances and relatively flat grade, this flow
typically becomes stagnant before reaching the system.
This causes pooling along the curb line and by the
handicap ramps. In the winter, this water can freeze and
lead to ice conditions along the street. In the summer,
the water has the potential to cause algae growth and
draw mosquitos. Both are undesirable conditions that the
Borough seeks to mitigate. Over the years, inlet basins
and underground pipes have been installed to minimize
stagnant flow and help facilitate the discharge to the
State stormwater system. This project will continue the
effort of installing additional inlets and underground
pipe to mitigate this issue in 27 remaining locations.
