The Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority (JCMUA) has been provided with financing for several utility improvement projects, including drinking water, combined sanitary and stormwater, and stormwater sewer improvements. This funding is provided by the New Jersey Water Bank (NJWB).

The NJWB is a State Revolving Fund program jointly administered by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (Infrastructure Bank) and uses a combination of funds provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the DEP, and the Infrastructure Bank to provide very low interest loans to borrowers for environmental infrastructure projects.

These projects will provide sanitary and storm sewer improvements to decrease the likelihood of flooding during typical rain events, as well as water quality benefits by ensuring that the water system’s water supply and water quality are not interrupted or compromised for residents and businesses located within each respective project’s limits, in the City of Jersey City.

State Revolving Fund programs around the nation provide states and communities with the resources necessary to maintain and improve the infrastructure protecting our valuable water resources nationwide.
