Did you know that New Jersey customers of water and sewer utilities are eligible for assistance with unpaid bills through the Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP)? Register for the October 25 webinar to learn more about the LIHWAP program.
In 2021, New Jersey received $24 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds for a new Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP). Eligible residential customers and their utility companies need to act now to benefit from the LIHWAP program while funds last! LIHWAP is intended to assist low- and moderate-income households with unpaid water and sewer bills, to help them pay off debt and avoid water shutoffs or tax lien sales on their homes. The webinar is presented by Jersey Water Works, Natural Resources Defense Council, NJ Board of Public Utilities (NJ BPU) and the NJ Department of Community Affairs.

Jersey Water Works Lead Service Line (LSL) Implementation Workgroup and New Jersey Water Association invite you to join us on Wednesday, June 22, 2022, 11:00 a.m. – 1:15 p.m. for a workshop designed to help water utilities navigate the LSL replacement looming compliance deadlines.
Learn promising practices to navigate challenges around LSL replacement. Tap into several <a href="https://www.jerseywaterworks.org/committees/lead-in-drinking-water-task-force/resources/">resources</a> created to highlight strategies for more effective and efficient LSL replacement programs.
Why this matters: 
The New Jersey statute (<a href="https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/Bills/2020/PL21/183_.HTM">P.L. 2021, c.183</a>) enacted on July 22, 2021 requires a series of compliance deadlines for action by public water systems pursuant to the removal of all Lead Service Lines (LSLs) within 10 years. Public water systems must develop a service line inventory and prepare a plan to replace all LSLs within 10 years by July 2022 (with updates thereafter) and must periodically notify customers whose property is served by a LSL. The NJ Department of Environmental Protection released its <a href="https://www.nj.gov/dep/watersupply/">guidelines </a>for the submission of the Lead Service Line Replacement Plan on May 17, 2022.
&nbsp;
Who Should Attend:
<ul>
<li>Water utility operators</li>
<li>Municipal and county officials</li>
<li>Licensed drinking water operators</li>
<li>Professional engineers and certified public works managers</li>

Many white-led and -dominant organizations are seeking to partner more effectively with BIPOC-led and EJ organizations. Meaningful partnerships, however, take work. Often what we think of as “partnerships” are misguided, transactional relationships with individuals, communities and organizations. To form meaningful partnerships that are not grounded in white supremacy and saviorism, we must center establishing trust and building mutual respect.

Planning and Utilities, Cities and CSOs—The Value of Collaboration to Improve Municipalities

Responding to the combined sewer overflow (CSO) problem is more than a matter of complying with permit requirements. Spending hundreds of millions of dollars in ways that do not improve municipal quality of life is not the optimal solution. Using redevelopment as a tool to improve CSO results should be seriously considered.
Note: This event is intended for permittees and planners in NJ CSO municipalities.
This workshop is designed to help municipal planners, drinking water/sewer utility officials, and municipal development officials understand the ways in which they can reduce sewage generation through water conservation and redevelopment design, including stormwater systems retrofits and green infrastructure. It will also cover the utilization of public spaces in ways that help resolve CSOs while reducing customer costs and improving the quality of life and resilience of CSO neighborhoods and municipalities. 
This virtual event, co-hosted by Jersey Water Works and the American Planning Association New Jersey chapter, will include a combination of presentations, facilitated discussions, and a virtual tour. This workshop has been approved for 2 Certification Maintenance credits through the American Institute of Certified Planners.
