Directs DEP to develop State water infrastructure investment plan; requires NJ Infrastructure Bank to publish additional information about water infrastructure projects; appropriates $200,000 to NJ Infrastructure Bank.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to develop a State Water Infrastructure Investment Plan every five years, detailing funding needs and prioritization for drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater systems. It mandates the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank to publish annual project reports and create a public website tracking project costs, progress, and funding sources. The bill appropriates $200,000 from the General Fund to support the website development and maintenance. Municipalities must review and consider the investment plan when updating their master plans, improving transparency and strategic planning for water infrastructure across the state.
