The Township’s water is continuously sampled and tested and continues to meet or exceed all of the stringent State and Federal requirements for safety. To provide consumers with information regarding the Township’s water quality a Consumer Confidence Report is prepared by the Township and mailed to residents in July of each year. An additional copy of the Consumer Confidence Report can be obtained at the DPW office during business hours.
