Establishes New Jersey Low Income Household Water Assistance Program to provide water service and water bill payment assistance to certain low-income households; appropriates $25 million.

This bill creates the New Jersey Low Income Household Water Assistance Program to help eligible households pay water bills and prevent service disconnections. It directly affects low-income households earning at or below 60% of New Jersey’s median income, providing financial assistance for water service costs, debt relief on past bills, and support to prevent disconnections. Key mechanisms include direct grants to water systems for household assistance, short-term support for non-public water systems, and coordination with existing energy assistance programs. The program is funded with $25 million in state appropriations and aims to make water service affordable while tracking performance metrics by location.
