Montville Township Water Conservation is in Effect

The New Jersey Commissioner of Environmental Protection has issued a Statewide Drought Watch, effective August 9, 2022.
 
At this time of year, more than 30 percent of water demand in suburban areas is for outdoor purposes, much of which can be reduced or avoided. The public can make a big difference by reducing watering of lawns and landscaping, reducing the washing of vehicles, and cutting back nonessential uses such as hosing off driveways and sidewalks. Residents and businesses can also practice many conservation measures to reduce indoor water use. For more water conservation tips, visit https://dep.nj.gov/conserve-water/
The most up-to-date information about the status of New Jersey’s water supplies can be found at dep.nj.gov/drought . 
Due to the current irrigation water demands in Montville Township, we are experiencing a 65% increase in water use.
