A 1777 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Directs DEP to develop State water infrastructure investment plan; requires NJ Infrastructure Bank to publish additional information about water infrastructure projects; appropriates $200,000 to NJ Infrastructure Bank.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to develop a comprehensive State Water Infrastructure Investment Plan every five years. The plan must estimate annual and long-term funding needs for drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater systems, identify revenue sources, prioritize projects (including environmental justice communities), and incorporate climate resilience strategies. It also mandates the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank to publish additional details about water infrastructure projects and appropriates $200,000 to support these efforts. The bill directly affects state agencies, water systems, and communities relying on public water infrastructure.
