Lead Service Line Replacement Program
In July 2021, the state of New Jersey enacted legislation that requires all water providers to share with customers the material of both the City of Elizabeth-owned and customer-owned service lines leading to their properties. In addition, it also requires utilit​ies​ ​to ​replace city-owned and customer-owned lead and galvanized steel service lines by 2031.
In response, the City of Elizabeth and Liberty Water Company, the contract operator of the City of Elizabeth’s water system, developed their Lead Service Line Replacement Program in 2022. Customers can visit www.amwater.com/libertyleadfacts to learn more about the program and use the interactive map to check whether the material of their pipes is known.
We are asking customers to help support this effort by locating and identifying their water service line and submitting a short survey at www.newjerseyamwater.com/leadsurvey.
If the service line is confirmed to be lead or galvanized steel, we will work to have those service lines replaced in accordance with the company’s replacement plan. It’s important to note that customers can still use their water as they normally would since the water provided by Liberty Water continues to meet state and federal water quality standards, including those consisting of lead.
To learn more about the program, please visit www.amwater.com/libertyleadfacts.

Wise Water Use
Making water conservation part of your daily routine will save both water and money every day. Here are a few easy tips you can follow:
Outside your home:
- Water your lawn only when it needs it. An easy way to tell if your lawn needs water is to simply walk across the grass. If you leave footprints, it’s time to water.
- Make the most of your watering by watering in the early morning. As much as 30 percent of water can be lost to evaporation by watering during midday.
- Plan for fewer, deep-soaking waterings to encourage deep root growth and stronger turf.
- Set your lawn mower one notch higher to make your lawn more drought-tolerant.
- Use drip irrigation hoses to water plants, and water in the early morning or evening.
- Consider using porous pavement (gravel is a good example) instead of asphalt for driveways and walkways, the rain will soak into the soil instead of running off and contributing to erosion.
- Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your sidewalk, driveway, or patio.
- Plant appropriately for your local climate. Check with local nurseries for non-invasive, drought-tolerant plants.
- Check your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter changes at all, you probably have a leak.
Inside your home:
- Run dishwashers and clothes washers only when they are full. If you have a water-saver cycle, use it.
- Adjust the water level of your clothes washer so it matches your load size.
- Regularly check your toilet, faucets, and pipes for leaks. American Water offers leak detection kits. If you find a leak, have it fixed as soon as possible
- Consider water and energy-efficient appliances. The USEPA reports that EPA-certified Energy Star washing machines may use 35% less water per load. Water-saving shower heads, toilets and faucet aerators can also help cut your water usage.
- Insulate exposed water pipes with pre-slit foam insulation. You’ll enjoy hot water faster and avoid wasting water while it heats up.
- Keep a bottle of cold tap water in the refrigerator. You’ll avoid the cost and environmental impact of bottled water and you’ll have cold water available in the summer without running the faucet.
- Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or washing dishes in the sink.
