Establishes notice requirements for certain water utilities.
This bill requires water utilities, local authorities, and municipal utilities using smart meters to provide residential customers with monthly usage notifications. Each notice must include the cost in dollars and gallons of water used during the billing cycle (up to two days prior to sending), and customers can opt for additional alerts like spending thresholds or usage comparisons. Utilities must initially inform customers via bill inserts about these options, including how to opt in, opt out, or consent to text messages. The bill also mandates that each water bill display previous and current charges, their difference, and any fees. These requirements apply to all residential smart meter customers in New Jersey.
