Veolia - Lead Service Line Project Update

Veolia is in Allendale as part of its sweeping, $159 million project to protect residents by removing lead from the system. 

Beginning Monday, August 14, 2023, crews will be working to determine whether homes along 10 streets have a lead service line. This may include some digging, but representatives may also ask for access to the meter of some residents. The company will restore any areas that are disturbed during this process.

If lead is found, Veolia will remove it AT NO COST TO THE HOMEOWNER. 

At this time,  J. Fletcher Creamer & Son, Inc. (Creamer), a Veolia partner will be working on the following streets: Edgewood Rd., Colonial Dr., Canaan Pl., Carteret Ct., Carteret Rd., Dogwood Dr., Elbrook Dr., Stonefence Rd., Walnut Pl. and Beresford Rd.

In addition to these streets, we will  be working on the following roads in the near future: Berkshire Pl., Brookside Ave., Crescent Bend, East Allendale Dr, Elm St, Erold Ct., Forest Rd., Homewood Ave., Kayeton Rd., Meeker Ave., Newton Pl., Orchard St., Park Ave., Powell Rd.,Schuyler Rd, Thomas Ave., West Allendale Ave., West Crescent Ave. and Wilton Dr.

If you have any questions, please call Veolia at  1-800-422-5987.

Since 2019, Veolia has had more than a dozen crews working every day to replace lead service lines, the pipes from run from the main in the street to an individual home. We've removed more than 12,000 lines so far -- and we aren't slowing down until all the lead is gone. How do we do it? Here’s a video of one of our crews in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQv04aFTGKs

Veolia appreciates your patience. In the field and the lab, we’re working every day to remove lead and ensure our customers have superior drinking water and reliable service for generations to come.
