Dear Tami Vaughan,
Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate your assistance.

Hi Peter,
Please see attached and below for the response to your OPRA request.
There is no properties shut off for non-payment for water service. We currently do not shut off water for delinquent or non-payment.
The Township does not keep a list of vacant / abandoned / condemned properties, or code violations.
The Fire Department does not keep a list of property addresses where they have responded.
Have a nice weekend,
Joann
