safe email icon [ [link removed] ]
New Jersey is working to replace all its lead and galvanized water lines by 2031. In the next few months, you may receive a letter from your water utility informing you that they have not been able to identify the service line that connects your property to the water supply. If you get one of these letters, please read the instructions inside. Your water utility will work with you to identify your service line. These letters will be sent annually until the service line material at your property is identified.

*Please Do Not Feed the Bears! [ [link removed] ]*

Residents are asked to be alert and watch for black bears as the bears forage for food ahead of their winter den season. Though most of New Jersey's black bears live in the northwest portion of the State, black bears have been sighted in all 21 counties.
Please take steps to secure trash cans and other potential sources of food. Bears that find food in residential neighborhoods may learn to associate people with food. These bears may then become nuisances that cause property damage, seek handouts from people, or become dangerous. Intentionally feeding bears is illegal in New Jersey and carries a fine of up to $1,000. Report black bear damage or aggressive bears to your local police department or to Fish & Wildlife by calling 1-877-927-6337.
