CAMDEN, N.J. – AUG. 7, 2023 – This past weekend, New Jersey American Water was joined by Egg Harbor City officials and the friends and family of Edward Dennis, Sr. to honor the former City Council President for his commitment to investment in Egg Harbor City, through the development and construction of the local water treatment plant in 2013.

This state-of-the-art water treatment facility on Philadelphia Avenue will display a dedication plaque on the front of the building to Edward Dennis, Sr. and the City Council that pushed for the plant to be built.

“We are proud to be Egg Harbor City’s new water and wastewater service provider. I want to thank Mayor Jiampetti and the members of City Council for entrusting us with this responsibility,” Mark McDonough, President of New Jersey American Water. “We will not let you down.”
