Delaware Township Municipal Utilities Authority Notice

Although the moratorium on shutoffs for, or enforcement of liens on, unpaid water, sewer, and municipal electric charges by residential ratepayers expired on March 15th, P.L. 2022, c. 4 extends this moratorium for those residential customers who apply for a state-administered utility assistance program prior to June 15, 2022.  Before enforcing unpaid open water, sewer, or electric charges accrued prior to March 15, 2022, or allowing an existing tax lien owner to satisfy such arrearages as a subsequent payment, local units are also required to offer a residential ratepayer the opportunity to enter into an installment plan for satisfying unpaid charges. Please review Local Finance Notice 2022-11 at https://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/lfns/22/2022-11.pdf for further critical details. The Notice also contains an updated model notice to residential ratepayers.
