Prohibits water companies from assessing more than one charge per fire hydrant to fire departments, fire districts, or volunteer fire companies for use of fire hydrants.

This bill prevents water companies in New Jersey from charging fire departments, fire districts, or volunteer fire companies more than one fee per fire hydrant on their periodic bills. By amending existing state law, it restricts the Board of Public Utilities from approving tariffs that include multiple charges for hydrant usage, ensuring these emergency services pay only a single rate for each hydrant. The measure takes effect immediately but includes a 60-day delay before it becomes fully operative.
