New Jersey American Water Closely Monitoring
Hurricane Sandy - 10-26-2012
New Jersey American Water is closely monitoring the developments of the path of Hurricane Sandy and is implementing emergency preparation measures. To minimize the storm's potential impact to our facilities and to your water service the steps we are taking include: backing up our power sources, reinforcing points in our water distribution system and at our treatment plants, and reviewing our contingency plans.
In anticipation of Hurricane Sandy, New Jersey American Water encourages you to take the following steps: conserve water, fill your bathtub with water in case your water service is disrupted, and, in this, and any emergency, know where your main water shut off valve is and be sure to shut your water off when evacuating.
Be safe!
