Jersey Shore Area Joint Water Authority has three upcoming projects. The authority has applied for grants to help with cost associated with the new Larry’s Creek Water Treatment Plant project.

    1. Larry’s Creek Water Treatment Plant: The project has started, and anticipated date of completion is set for mid-2027.
    2. Lead Service Inventory: This is an EPA and DEP mandatory program that was recently rolled out from the Biden administration. The program was designed to remove all lead water service lines to every home and business. The program will require cooperation and support from the public. If you haven’t already submitted your information, please do so through https://jerseyshorewater.com/lead-survey/ or call the office to schedule an appointment for an employee to come out and verify your service lines. The second round of lead letters will be sent out in October.
    3. Groundwater Source Development: 3 well sites have been chosen by groundwater geologist Jim Casselberry and DEP has approved all 3 well sites. The 3 well sites have been drilled, and one site has been chosen to move forward with the drilling of a potable water production well.
