The Gloucester Township Department of Public Works has successfully upgraded fuel storage infrastructure with a new state-of-the-art, above-ground tank system.
The new split-unit tank has a combined capacity of 20,000 gallons, with 10,000 gallons dedicated to gasoline and 10,000 to diesel. Two new filling stations have also been added, bringing the total to four.
This upgraded tank system will significantly streamline fuel access for multiple departments, including the township police department, township fire companies, Pine Hill Public Works and fire companies and Clementon Public Works and fire companies.
The new system not only enhances efficiency by saving time for employees, but also complies with the latest environmental regulations set by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
