At New Jersey American Water, providing safe, reliable water service is our top priority. In July 2021, the state of New Jersey enacted legislation that requires all water providers to share with customers the material of the utility-owned and customer-owned service lines that lead to their property, notify customers with service lines that are lead or galvanized steel, and replace them within ten years.

To support this initiative, New Jersey American Water has created an interactive map below to help our customers learn or identify their service line material and the next steps they can take to support this initiative.

Please note if your service lines contain lead, it does not mean you cannot use water as you normally do. Your water continues to meet water quality standards. The company regularly tests for lead in drinking water and our water meets state and federal water quality regulations, including those set for lead. For added protection and to comply with the new legislation, we will be removing lead and lead/galvanized piping from service lines over time.
