Due to the Statewide Drought Warning that Governor Murphy and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection declared on November 13, New Jersey American Water has issued a mandatory conservation notice for all customers across the state to reduce water usage.

Customers must limit all non-essential water use, including all outdoor watering. Plants require less water in the fall, so allow them to go dormant for the season, and postpone water-intensive landscaping until spring. Customers should also winterize irrigation systems by turning off and draining sprinkler systems, outdoor spigots, and hoses.
