The Theme: Driving the Change: Shared Action for New Jersey’s Water Future
Driving the Change: Establishes an urgent, results-driven call to action. It targets New Jersey’s 2026 pivotal inflection point as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) comes to an end and strict compliance are in place—especially as the state tackles aggressive timelines for lead service line replacements, newly launched PFAS regulations, and aging Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs).
Shared Action: Anchors the theme to the fundamental mission of the Jersey Water Works collaborative. It explicitly focuses on cultivating workforce inclusion, scaling up water affordability programs, and delivering resilient infrastructure upgrades to all communities, ensuring we don’t leave any communities behind.
