Requires electric public utilities to develop service restoration plans for certain communities on well water or septic systems.
This bill requires electric public utilities in New Jersey to create service restoration plans for communities that rely on private wells or septic systems. It defines these communities as areas where at least 40% of residential customers depend on private well water and mandates that utilities prioritize them during extended power outages lasting more than 24 hours. The plans must include provisions for at least one watering station with bottled water, a water tanker truck, and other resources needed for residents and livestock. Utilities must submit these plans to the Board of Public Utilities within one year of the bill's effective date, and the board will make the plans available on its website.
