Long Hill Township Achieves Debt-Free Status Following Sale of Wastewater System

Overview: In a development for Long Hill Township, the recent sale of the township’s wastewater system to New Jersey American Water has enabled the community to retire all municipal and sewer-related debt, placing it among only 25 municipalities in New Jersey that are now debt-free. This move has also lifted a long-standing sewer ban and set plans in motion to extend sewer services to nearly 95% of the town, encompassing around 300 additional homes. The sale has prompted substantial investments by New Jersey American Water, totaling nearly $50 million in upgrades, with an additional $50 million planned over the next five years. This strategic decision was highlighted as a step for the township’s financial stability and future growth.
