Many have been wondering why their tap water was coming out brown this week. The MUA says, that is because the utility company is in the midst of performing their annual ‘Flushing Process’. The process, to ensure the maintenance of water quality, is being performed in phases, and the process is expected to be completed by the week’s end.
The MUA suggests that after 4:00 p.m. you let the water run through your tap for several minutes to clear the water.
The miscolored water says the MUA, is not harmful. TLS.
Can’t seem to remember this thing annually …,
Maybe “flushing process” is a poor choice of words.
Why can’t we all have MUA, New Jersey American Water rips us all off!! THe township could make money while every single resident would save. What better solution could there be!!!!?
Was your NJ American Water bill very high this month? as well a last March ? Wonder why can anyone please explain.
Nj American is in big dispute with Ocean Cty. Utilities Autority where our sewer is treated. They refuse to pay OCUA over $800,000 in past due $$$. Sad ,we paid NJ American for our sewer and they refuse to hand over our $$$ to OCUA. I believe that NJ water is owned by a German Co.. An eng, from OCUA told me that , NJ water puts very little $$$ back into the aging infrastructure that has many leaks in the antique manhole s and sewer piping. We end up paying more (more sewage to treat). Looks like NJ American is MILKING us to the MAX
Can someone please explain why water companies are allowed to have a monopoly?
Why can’t I choose who will be my water supplier?
To H20,
Has the NJ Board of Public Utilities been notified about your concern??
The BPU is a Joke. They’re supposed to protect the ratepayer,but typically help the utilities raise our rates!
#8, I personally had issues with the water company, whom we all know to be arrogant and merciless. The first time was with my personal meter, and when I called the BPU and filed a complaint it was resolved within an hour.
Thus encouraged, when the Mossad that I work in had problems with the water company twice in the ensuing four years, a call to the BPU resolved it very quickly.
I think that the BPU is the only entity that the shmoes in the water company are afraid of.
They are milking us to the MAX,and putting very little $$$ back to repair a rotting ,leaky infrastructure
We should take the franchise away from them . A most miserable Co. to deal with!!!
they put a new meter in and my bill went way up, cant drink the water in nj but have to pay for it ??????
