Public Notices

Good Morning,

As part of New Jersey American Water’s commitment to identifying and removing all lead and galvanized service lines by 2031, our qualified contractor, CDM Smith will begin working to identify unknown service line material. This will begin early in the New Year on a block-by-block basis by performing door-to-door canvassing throughout Haddon Township.  If it is discovered that a portion of the service line contains lead or galvanized piping, New Jersey American Water will work with the homeowner to schedule its replacement. Mailers are sent out in advance to notify residents of the upcoming canvassing and the employees will have proper identification and will not ask for any type of payment.

Here is an example of the mailer that goes out:

New Jersey American Water’s Lead Service Line Replacement Program

In July 2021, the state of New Jersey enacted legislation that requires all water providers to share with customers the material of both the utility-owned and customer-owned service lines leading to their properties. In addition, it also requires utility companies replace utility-owned and customer-owned lead and galvanized, which is now being treated as lead according to the new state law, service lines by 2031.

New Jersey American Water is committed to replacing all lead and galvanized water service lines by 2031. Customers can visit www.newjerseyamwater.com/leadfacts to learn more about the program, look up their address on the interactive inventory map as well as a variety of resources to help educate customers about lead service lines and the company’s replacement process.

Over the coming weeks, New Jersey American Water qualified contractor, will be assessing service line materials in your area.  The service line is the pipe that connects your home to the water main in the street. A portion of the service line to your residence is owned by New Jersey American Water, while the other portion is owned by the homeowner. If the service line is confirmed to be lead or galvanized, New Jersey American Water will add it to an upcoming replacement project in your area. There is no direct, out of pocket cost to you at the time of the replacement.

Please note: Customers can still use their water as they normally would as the water provided by New Jersey American Water continues to meet state and federal water quality standards, including those set for lead.

Customers are strongly encouraged to update their contact preferences and opt-in for service-related notifications from New Jersey American Water at www.amwater.com/mywater. Customers can decide how they are notified either via phone, email or text and can add up to three phone numbers and three email addresses.

To learn more about the program, please visit www.newjerseyamwater.com/leadfacts. Any questions customers may have about the program that are not answered by the frequently asked questions online can be sent to New Jersey American Water Lead Team at leadfreenj@amwater.com.

Thank you!
