Construction of upgrades and improvements to the Borough of Glen Ridge, Water Meter Replacement Program, were financed 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 (NJIB) and uses a combination of funds provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the DEP, and the NJIB to provide very low interest loans to borrowers for environmental infrastructure projects.
This project will provide water quality benefits and water service reliability for our community. By implementing backflow protection and enhanced pressure regulation, it will help prevent contamination and ensure cleaner, safer drinking water. The project also includes advanced leak detection systems that will promptly identify and address leaks, reducing the risk of water loss and contamination. Additionally, automated meter reading will improve efficiency and accuracy, resulting in more precise water usage data and fairer billing for customers. These upgrades will not only help conserve water but also provide more reliable service and greater transparency for the community for residents and businesses in the Borough of Glen Ridge.
State Revolving Fund programs around the nation provide states and communities the resources necessary to maintain and improve the infrastructure protecting our valuable water resources nationwide.
