Due to work being performed by the Ocean County Engineering Department on the bridge structure on Colonial Drive, a section of the Manchester Township water main on the bridge must be relocated.

This work will be performed overnight on June 17-18, 2024, in an effort to reduce the impact on our residents. However, temporary water restrictions will be put in place, stopping all irrigation during these two days. Residents are also asked to limit water use as much as possible during this period.

The Eastern Service Area generally includes the portion of Manchester Township lying along Route 37 and east of the Lakehurst Naval Air Engineering Station/Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

1. Irrigation is not permitted starting at 12:00PM on June 17 until 12:00PM on June 18.

2. These restrictions shall apply to all residential and commercial properties served by Manchester Township that are located in the Water Utility’s Eastern Service Area.

3. These restrictions shall not apply to residents and commercial properties which are served by other water utility companies or which obtain their potable water from their own private well.

Violators of these restrictions are subject to fines.
