Jersey Water Works is a collaborative effort of many diverse organizations and individuals who embrace the common purpose of transforming New Jersey’s inadequate water infrastructure by investing in sustainable, cost-effective solutions that provide communities with clean water and waterways; healthier, safer neighborhoods; local jobs; flood and climate resilience; and economic growth. One of the collaborative’s four shared goals is “Effective and Financially Sustainable Systems,” which aims for communities to maintain and improve drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure systems to deliver quality water services that meet community needs, and that operating budgets and capital investment are adequate and affordable, resulting in systems that operate efficiently and in a state of good repair.
The Jersey Water Works Asset Management and Finance Committee submits the following questions on the proposed Clean Water (CW) SRF and Drinking Water (DW) SRF Intended Use Plans (IUPs) for SFY27, with this goal in mind.
