Water is a private utility in Chatham Township. As such, we do not have the records you're seeking. You'll need to contact New Jersey American Water to see if they'll share that with you.

We also do not maintain a registry of vacant or abandoned properties. As such, we do not have any responsive documents on file.

Thanks,
Greg LaConte
Township Clerk

Dear Chatham Township,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:

Water Shut Off / Utility Liens

- A list of all property addresses that have had their water bill liened against the property, have failed to pay their water bill, or have had the water shut off at any point in the last 12 months.

Vacant List

- A list of all properties that the city deems to be currently vacant or abandoned.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.

Yours faithfully,

Nathan
