PICATINNY ARSENAL

Rockaway Township, New Jersey

In August 2014, we were awarded a 50-year contract to own, operate, renew and replace the potable water, service water, and wastewater systems serving Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway Township, New Jersey.

The systems serve over 1,000 buildings on 6500 acres. The potable water utility system at Picatinny Arsenal was initially constructed in the 1920s and includes four wells, 11 pumping stations, nine tanks, and about 40 miles of potable water distribution pipe. The service water systems for industrial processes include six tanks, seven pump stations, a 2.0 million gallons per day (MGD) water treatment plant (WTP) and approximately 30 miles of service water distribution mains.

The wastewater collection system consists of 19 sewage lift stations, over 400 manholes, and approximately 27 miles of pipe/force mains that transport wastewater off post to the Rockaway Valley Regional Sewage Authority.

NEW JERSEY LEAD SERVICE LINE REQUIREMENTS

Click here to view the Picatinny Lead Service Line Inventory

At American Water, providing safe, reliable water service is our top priority. In July 2021, the state of New Jersey enacted legislation for all water providers to share with customers the material of the utility-owned service lines leading to their properties and the material of the customer-owned service lines leading to their properties, if known. It also requires utility companies to replace utility-owned and customer-owned lead service lines within the next ten years.

Please note if your service lines contain lead, it does not mean you cannot use water as you normally do. Your water continues to meet water quality standards. The company regularly tests for lead in drinking water and our water meets state and federal water quality regulations, including those set for lead. For added protection and to comply with the new legislation, we will be removing lead and lead/galvanized piping from service lines over time.

Picatinny Arsenal’s water system is in full compliance of the Lead and Copper Rule.  For additional information on Lead Service Line Requirements, please visit the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
