North Jersey Water
Supply Commission oversees the operation of the largest water-supply system in
the State of New Jersey, including more than 95-square-miles of watershed area,
two major reservoirs, two river-diversion pumping stations, and a 140-million
gallon/day (MGD) water filtration plant. At peak capacity, the NJDWSC's
facilities can supply over 200-MGD of water to its contracting municipalities
and United Water New Jersey (UWNJ), thereby serving the water needs of more
than 2 million people in Northern New Jersey.
The Commission, an independent authority of the State, serves as a trustee
representing the joint interests of the contracting municipalities which share
in regional water supply projects.
