NOTICES:
As part of the annual maintenance program NJAM will temporarily change the water treatment process from a chloramine (combination) residual to free chlorine residual at the company’s Swimming River Water Treatment Plant in Colts Neck and its Jumping Brook Water Treatment Plant in Neptune. The temporary treatment process will begin the week of February 6, 2023, and continue until April 2023. During this period, some customers may notice a slight taste and smell of chlorine in their water. This is normal and will only be temporary until the system maintenance is complete. Customers who wish to reduce the taste of chlorine can place water in an uncovered glass container in the refrigerator overnight to dissipate chlorine faster.

How to Recognize a Natural Gas Leak
Smell – The distinctive odor of rotten eggs (You may not smell the odor if you have a diminished sense of smell, the odor is masked by other scents or it has faded.)
Look – Discolored or dead vegetation, disturbed soil or a dense mist above the pipeline
Listen – A loud and high-pitched sound
Act – If you smell or suspect a natural gas leak … DON’T DELAY, GET AWAY!
Evacuate everyone from the building or site immediately and then call NJNG from a safe location at 800-GAS-LEAK (427-5325). (Customers with hearing or speech impairments, dial 711 to contact the Telecommunications Relay Service.) Let us know where you are.
- Remove cigarettes or other smoking materials from the area, and then promptly extinguish them.
- Do NOT use telephones, cellular OR cordless, on the premises where the leak is suspected.
- Do NOT activate light switches, electrical appliances, flashlights, doorbells or even garage door openers as electrical appliances and devices could cause a spark.
- Do NOT re-enter the building until NJNG has declared it to be safe.
