We’ve been engineering water systems for quite a long time.
The JCSA became the JCMUA in 1998, when the Authority took over the responsibility of the Jersey City Water system. Previously, a department within the City had operated the water system. The JCMUA has contracted the operations of the water system to Suez Water formerly United Water of Jersey City. Suez Water is well known for its ability to provide quality service at greater efficiency to its customers. See Suez Water link for more information on the water system.

“The Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority pledges to operate and maintain its sewerage and water facilities in a fashion that will protect the public health and environment of all its constituents. It will always strive to accomplish this goal in the most competent, economical and compassionate manner possible.”
Begun as the Jersey City Sewerage Authority in 1949, the JCSA built two sewage treatment plants to meet early requirements for treating wastewater prior to discharging into the rivers. These plants were built on Route 440, where the current JCMUA offices are located, and at the foot of Communipaw Avenue, where the current pumping station is located adjacent to the Liberty Science Center. These treatment plants faithfully served the residents of Jersey City until 1990, when more stringent rules required the treatment system to be upgraded. Under a $21 million grant from the USEPA, the JCSA converted its two treatment plants to pumping stations and began pumping wastewater under the Newark Bay to the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners in Newark.
