Community Engagement and Partnerships
Local partnerships can catalyze the rebuilding of our aging infrastructure. Jersey Water Works implements a collective impact approach to address water infrastructure issues and opportunities in New Jersey. Its common agenda, shared measurements, coordinated efforts, continuous communication, and dedicated team are essential pieces of this collaborative. With empowering stakeholders as a core goal of the collaborative, the success of any water infrastructure transformation requires the strengths that each partner brings to the table.
