Requires advance notice of water supply discontinuations for non-payment of local government water bills; requires offer of payment plan in certain circumstances.

This bill (S 2388) requires New Jersey municipalities to provide 15 days' written notice before cutting off water service for non-payment of bills. It mandates notices to property owners, bill-paying customers, and tenants (with an offer of a payment plan for tenants), and requires municipalities to provide reasonable payment plans upon request before disconnecting service. The law applies to both water and sewer service charges and affects residential property owners, tenants, and municipal authorities managing water systems. It aims to prevent sudden disconnections by giving residents time to arrange payments. The bill is currently pending in the Senate.
