Open Records Request
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
Under the Public Records Act, I formally request a current list of all residential properties in your city that have had the water shut off any time between 1/1/2020 and 05/05/2021
I authorize you to redact confidential information in accordance with the Utilities Code.
Please provide requested records in Excel format if available.
If up-to-date data is not available, please provide the most recently available information.
Thank you,
Jack Smith
Consistent with the State of New Jersey's most recent directive regarding
OPRA requests, please be advised that the satutory deadline (7 business
days) does not apply during this current State of Emergency. Consistent
with said directive, however, Bayonne's
custodian of government records shall make a reasonable effort, as the
circumstances permit, to respond to a request for access to a government
record within seven business days or as soon as possible thereafter.
Given our current reduced staffing levels during this State of Emergency,
we will endeavor to have your request answered as soon as possible, but we
project that certain requests will take up to 30 days to fulfill. Thank
you for your understanding and patience.
Hell Jack, I have been notified that the City of Bayonne never shuts off
residential water.
Temporary water shut off may occur if there is a large sewer project or
other related city water project going on.
