Requires certain local authorities to inspect, maintain, and repair fire hydrants in planned real estate developments.
This bill requires New Jersey municipal authorities (created under the Municipal and County Utilities Authorities Law) to inspect, maintain, and repair fire hydrants on streets within planned real estate developments - such as subdivisions or communities with separately owned lots under a common plan - using the same standards applied to hydrants on public streets. It applies regardless of whether the development's streets are dedicated to the municipality. The law aims to ensure all fire hydrants, including those in private developments, are properly maintained for public safety during emergencies. It explicitly excludes timeshares from the definition of "planned real estate development."
