Do
you know where you water comes from? Who is responsible for maintaining it? Or how
much it costs to use?
While water is arguably the most essential and invaluable resource, its quality
and availability are factors we too often take for granted.
In
anticipation for Imagine a Day Without Water, a holiday celebrated on
October 21 that highlights water and the need for continued investment in it,
we invite our community members to learn about water all month long.
The
first blog in this series highlights local water rates.
Whether
private or public, all utilities require "pumps, parts, people" and
investment in infrastructure to successfully operate.
As stewards of
the regional wastewater treatment infrastructure here in Atlantic County, we take
seriously our commitment to the community by holding high environmental standards,
investing responsibly and providing efficient and effective service.
We
invite our community to review the local water rates below to gain a better
understanding of the investment and costs associated with maintaining our water
systems.
