Lead Replacement Incentive Program

Beginning in February 2022, all residents with known lead service lines will receive a certified letter notifying them that they currently have a lead service line that will be replaced. Look up your address here: https://www.leadfreejc.com/

Jersey City MUA expects to replace over 1,000 lead service lines per year. Properties will be prioritized based on factors including but not limited to the targeting of known lead service lines, lead service line replacement for disadvantaged consumers and populations most sensitive to the effects of lead, in accordance with federal regulations.

All properties with known lead services lines will automatically be scheduled for replacement over the next 10 years. If you have questions or concerns, call JCMUA’s dedicated customer support line at (201) 365-6189 or email leadfreejc@jcmua.com

Annual Sewer Abatement Guidelines

ANNUAL RENEWAL OF SEWERAGE ABATEMENTS

The Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority resolution of January 20, 1983 states that all sewerage abatements must be reviewed, resubmitted, and approved every year. Abatement applications must be completed in full with the appropriate fees paid. No abatements will be renewed until the application and requested material is received and a facility inspection is performed.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND CHECKS TO SUEZ WATER JERSEY CITY. All applications must be completed online via the portal in the link below. Please include a copy of a recent water and sewer bill.

If there are any changes made at your facility, they must be reported in the application.

Failure to complete the application and pay fees will result in loss of your partial sewerage abatement. If there are any questions, please contact Ryan Slager directly by contacting: 201-432-1150.

Rain Barrel Collection Program

A rain barrel is a container that collects and stores rain water that drains from your roof and gutters. The Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority in partnership with the Jersey City Environmental Commission is offering rain barrels free of charge for Jersey City residents.
