S 2766 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires municipalities to provide certain information to property owners served by municipal water systems.

This bill requires New Jersey municipalities providing water services to property owners to give each owner written terms outlining their financial responsibilities for water service. Specifically, the documents must detail who is responsible for maintaining, repairing, or installing service lines connecting properties to the water system, and the property owner's payment obligations. Municipalities must post these terms on their website and mail them annually with the first billing statement of the year, and also mail them to new owners within 45 days of a property sale. The goal is to increase transparency about costs and responsibilities that property owners often face unexpectedly, such as bills for repairs to pipes connecting their property to the municipal system.
