Has The Water Meter Been Replaced At Your Home In East Brunswick?

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — East Brunswick is currently in the midst of replacing all residential water meters with electronic ones.

To this end, residents need to call the respective authorities and get started on the process, which is quite simple, according to township officials.

“It’s imperative that every resident that hasn’t had their water meter changed call and schedule a date to have their meter changed,” Business Administrator Joe Criscuolo said.

Residents can call 1-888-448-0009 or go to www.nmsnj.com and pick a date that’s convenient for them.

“We need to get this project moving along. It’s imperative that we get to the point where we can read the meters without having people going out to read all the meters. It’s really holding up the project at this particular point.”

The township had earlier hoped to have all meters changed and the project completed by now. East Brunswick is now 75 percent done with the project Criscuolo said.

The Business administrator noted that there have been multiple notices sent to residents. The township will now send out final notices and then figure out what to do with “the outliers.”

Going forward, officials will be making the announcement on replacing water meters at every Council meeting.
