💧 Restrictions in place for 24 hours
NEPTUNE TOWNSHIP — New Jersey American Water has issued an alert to conserve water in two counties as the utility conducts emergency repairs.
The company said Sunday around 4:45 p.m. that it was repairing a 36-inch valve at the Jumping Brook Water Treatment Plant in Neptune Township.
Between the “emergency repair” and increased water demand during the summer, NJAW issued a mandatory water conservation restriction.
“New Jersey American Water thanks its customers for their cooperation in refraining from non-essential outdoor use during this repair and throughout the summer to continue to ensure a plentiful supply for everyone,” the company said in a statement.
