CAPE MAY CNTY MUA 39TH STREET PUMP STATION is a distribution pump station located at 39th St & Ocean Dr in Avalon, New Jersey, United States. It is operated by the Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority and serves the local water distribution network in the coastal community. The facility operates under New Jersey state water supply regulations and local municipal codes. As a distribution pump station, it maintains water pressure and flow for residential and commercial customers in Avalon. Typical distribution pump stations in this region handle moderate flow capacities to support seasonal population fluctuations common in shore towns. This pump station plays a critical role in ensuring reliable water service for Avalon, a popular beach destination. Its coastal location requires robust infrastructure to withstand environmental stressors such as saltwater corrosion and storm surges. The station contributes to the resilience of the local water supply system.

The pump station is situated in a coastal barrier island environment, where saltwater intrusion and storm surge pose risks to water infrastructure. The facility must operate under stringent corrosion control measures and backup power requirements to maintain service during extreme weather events. Its location in a densely developed shore community underscores the importance of redundancy and regular maintenance to prevent service disruptions.
