A 1582 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Makes supplemental appropriation of $2.125 million to Howell Township in Monmouth County for drinking water infrastructure project.

This bill appropriates $2.125 million from the General Fund to Howell Township in Monmouth County specifically for extending drinking water mains to the Freewood Acres neighborhood. It directly affects residents in this economically stressed area, where current water sources rely on failing septic systems and shallow groundwater wells. The funding covers the cost of installing water infrastructure alongside an existing sewer project (to replace failing septic systems polluting a sensitive watershed), as the township and water provider cannot afford the full expense alone. The bill enables a coordinated infrastructure upgrade to improve public health, environmental safety, and water system efficiency in Freewood Acres.
