COVID-19 Ratepayer Relief Measures
November 2021

Certain measures are in place providing relief to ratepayers experiencing economic hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic: 

  • Service Shutoff Moratorium
    Be advised that, until January 1, 2022, Executive Order 229 places a moratorium on local governments enforcing late payment charges and penalties on water or electric accounts or referring delinquent water or electric payment to tax sale. On or after January 1, 2022, charges and penalties may be imposed for delinquent payments, and any payments remaining delinquent may be referred to a tax lien sale held by the municipal tax collector.
  •  Bill Assistance and Arrearance Forgiveness Programs
    The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) is currently developing a Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP). This program is designed to assist water and sewer customers facing economic hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Further information will be provided once the program goes live.
