Excavation for the new watermain on Walnut Street will immediately follow this portion of the project. Information from this project is shown below from the previous email blast.

Pollutants collect on the Borough’s roads between rain events from vehicle emissions, winter deicing operations, trash, road wear and tear, and grass clippings from adjacent properties.
This year’s schedule is slated to begin Monday June 10th. The 2019 schedule and map provided hereopens PDF file show the dates your street will be cleaned. The schedule and map are available on the Borough website www.jenkintownboro.com and paper copies are also available at Borough hall.
