Addresses with water-shut off
Dear Florham Park Borough,
I am requesting a list of current addresses within the town/city that have had their water shut off within the past three months (September 1st - December 1st) of 2019.
My understanding is that the town/city is responsible for the turning on/off of the water supply to each address within it's legal boundaries. According to the NJ Utilities Code, the addresses of said properties are public information and can be provided upon notice via an Open Public Records Request (OPRA).
Please share the information in the following format:
Date, Mailing Address
i.e. (11/01/2019, 34 Main Street Rockaway NJ 07866)
Thank you for your efforts and time,
Emanuelle Sedita
Emanuelle,
The water department does not keep an ongoing address list for water shut
offs in the Borough. If you have any questions, you can contact the water
department at: 973-410-5316.
Thank you,

Dear Lisa DiTaranto,
I find it hard to believe that an authority that maintains the water for a town would not maintain records of address with or without water service. Unless all properties in your jurisdiction maintain constant water service, I would like to clarify my record request:
Please provide the records from the water department for the time period mentioned in my original request:
1. "Applications for Water Meter and Misc. Water Charges billed to Addresses"
2. "Fee Schedule of Water Department"
Applications can include to turning off/on water or water billing charges related to the turning off/on of the water. Fee schedule is the charges to the customers from the water department maintains for it's jurisdiction.
Yours sincerely,
Emanuelle Sedita
Emanuelle,
I spoke to the water department and although they do not have a running list of water shut offs, they made you copies of the work orders they had for water shut offs. Also attached is the fee schedule, Ordinance #18-19. Any questions can be directed to the water department at: 973-410-5316.
Have a nice day,
