The current spell of hot and dry weather is resulting in extraordinary demand for water service in Ocean County. New Jersey American Water is asking for its Ocean County customers’ cooperation to lessen the impact of the current high demands by being mindful of their water usage until further notice. The company asks that customers limit outdoor water use such as watering lawns and washing cars, and limit nonessential indoor water use.
The following towns are asked to cooperate in conserving water:
• Bay Head (Barrier Islands Only)
• Brick Township
• Lavallette
• Lakewood
• Mantoloking
• Ortley Beach
• Toms River (Barrier Islands Only) (TLS-CAC/TLS-CCP)
DONT CHARGE US TRIPLE WHAT OTHER WATER COMPANIES
CHARGE AND THEN TELL US WHAT TO DO!!!!
What about if I have my own well for outdoors?
What about if I have my own well for outdoors? Is it considered maras ayin?
NJAW you can go fly a kite i’ll use and waste as much water as i please, if after all your rip off charges you still cant run a business and supply your customers then close down and let some other capable entity take over.
they are a bunch of thieves.Lakewood should find a new water company the are ripping us all off.
Lakewood should never let the old lakewood water co be sold to NJAW. look at the water rate difference between the lakewood MUA & NJAW
NJAW has got to have the worst customer satisfaction rating of any utility out there. I can’t believe our elected officials are letting this company bilk their customers. The BPU is inept. I know because Iv’e complained to them before to no avail. Somebody shut this company down!
Hey complainers, the problem is that people tend to uses more water because of the heat. The excessive heat causes large amounts of water to evaporate from the reservoir and without rain the loss can’t be made up. Maybe you complainers should spend more time learning some useful knowledge and learn to have some courtesy for other people.
To #8 at the rate they charge they should truck in water from other towns and let us drink as much water we like to
Well I don’t have to worry about that..I kept my well from years ago for watering my lawn..
Im just informing you that when I was driving by the library at 12:05 they were watering their lawn. But we should all be careful.
after all the snow we had this winter and rain there should be plenty of water.
# 11, you mean while you were stealing the libraries internet the sprinklers came on????
wow for such good townspeople you are worried about the color of your grass. I have never seen such a bunch of spoiled rotten little babies.
Go green, save some water and remember to use your yellow recycling bins…………………..
12 Uncle Moshey; Not sure if u missed it but I said as I was driving by.
no i read it correctly, but the library is ltmua not american water, therefore not affected by the request to limit watering.
the point of conserving is to try to prevent a shortage. it has not rained in a long time. what does the library have to do with it? they are not the water company!
