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.

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.
Hydrant flushing dates.
Spring - March 15th through May 1st.
Fall - September 15th through
November 1st
Sump Pump Discharge
The discharge of ground water from sump pumps into the Borough’s sanitary sewer system is a violation of State and Municipal Code and costs rate payers thousands of dollars in unnecessary treatment costs. The ordinance will be strictly enforced.
Pet Waste
Clean and plentiful water is important to our
families, our environment, our economy and our quality of life.
Did you know that animal waste from pets can pollute our waters?
When left on the ground, pet waste is washed by rain and melting
snow and ice into storm drains that carry it to our rivers, lakes,
the ocean and drinking water. Animal waste contains a high
concentration of nutrients as well as bacteria and disease-causing
microorganisms that can cause problems.
What you can do
Pet owners or anyone who takes your pet for walks
must properly dispose of the waste by picking it up, wrapping it and
either placing it in the trash or flushing it unwrapped down the
toilet.
Your municipality is required to adopt and enforce local pet-waste
laws. At a minimum, your community must require that pet owners or
their keepers immediately and properly dispose of their pet’s solid
waste deposited on any public or private property not owned or
possessed by that person. People with assistance animals such as
Seeing Eye dogs are exempt.
Make sure you know what your municipality requires – and follow
it.
Thank you for doing your part to keep New Jersey’s waters
clean.
Tips for saving water inside your home
Bathroom ~ Bathroom use accounts for about 75 percent of the water used inside the home.
-
Check regularly for any leaks in your toilet, faucets and water hose bibs and fix them.
-
Install a low-flow showerhead.
-
Replace older, larger-use toilets with the newer higher efficiency toilets.
-
Take short showers and save the baths for special occasions.
Kitchen ~ About 8 percent of in-home water use takes place in the kitchen.
-
Wash only full loads in the dishwasher. An efficient dishwasher usually uses much less water than washing dishes by hand.
-
Install a low-flow faucet aerator, which can cut water use in half.
-
When buying a new dishwasher, consider purchasing a water-saving model. (New models use up to 25 percent less water than older ones.)
Around the house.
-
Wash only full loads in the clothes washer. Washing small loads uses over twice as much water per pound of laundry.
-
When buying a new clothes washer, consider purchasing a water-saving model.
-
Insulate hot water pipes where possible to avoid long delays (and wasted water) while waiting for the water to "run hot." When building a new home, keep the distance short between the hot water heater and showers and other places that hot water is used.
