On June 6, 2007, New Jersey American Water Company (NJAWC) petitioned the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities for approval to extend water service to a proposed franchise area in Mantua Township, Gloucester County, based on municipal consent Ordinance No. O-08-2007 granted by the Township on March 27, 2007, and Resolution No. 2006-41 adopted by the Mantua Municipal Utility Authority on January 22, 2007. NJAWC serves approximately 606,500 water customers and 28,400 sewer customers across 182 communities in 17 counties. The extension would provide water service to an undeveloped area within Mantua Township currently lacking water infrastructure and support development of the South Jersey Technology Park in Planning Area 2, an academic and research campus created through a $5.8 million grant awarded to Rowan University by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. A public hearing on the petition was held on October 17, 2007, before Board Hearing Examiner Joseph Quirolo with representations from the Company, Division of Rate Counsel, and Board Staff.
