Water Service Line Material Survey

In July 2021, P.L.2021, Ch.183 (Law) was enacted, requiring all community water systems to replace lead and galvanized service lines in their service area within 10 years. Under the law, the Borough of Lavallette is required to inventory public and private water services to identify all service line materials.

In an effort to report all private water service line materials to the State of New Jersey, the Borough of Lavallette is requesting you, the Homeowner, to inspect your current water service and determine the material that has been installed for your property.

Please click here for more information and to complete the survey.

Hydrant Flushing

Flushing of Water Mains takes place at night. Temporary discoloration of the water may result from flushing, therefore, water should be allowed to run long enough so as to allow any sediment in the lines in your home, including laundry areas, to clear.

2024 Hydrant flushing dates.
March 11 – June 14
September 9 – October 31

The Water Department is scheduling the fire hydrant flushing program for the months of March 11 through June 14 and September 9 through October 31. If the weather is unfavorable or emergencies occur, rescheduling can happen.

Flushing times will be 10:00 pm through 4:00 am.
The water is safe to drink. Customers may experience a reduction in water pressure and slight discoloration which would be temporary, we advise not to wash your laundry if discoloration is present. If customers experience issues please run your cold water only from an outside faucet if available or a bathtub or sink, something without an aerator for about five minutes or until clear before using. If the problem persists please call the Water Department Office 732-793-7766. hours 7:00am – 3:00pm. If there is an emergency after hours please contact Lavallette Police at 732-793-4800 and they will contact Water Department personnel.

If water is discolored at any time of the year or other water quality issues arise, a flushing of the appropriate distribution mains might be needed and will be performed in a timely manner to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
