Request for Data on Fire Hydrants
Dear Egg Harbor City,
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 NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
I am currently developing an application to assist my colleagues in underwriting properties for home insurance in New Jersey. For this purpose, I am seeking data on the location of fire hydrants within your city. Ideally, I would appreciate an Excel file, CSV, shapefile, OR even a link to a map containing the addresses or geo-coordinates of the fire hydrants, along with any other available information about them.
I understand the data may not be perfectly accurate or up-to-date, but I would greatly appreciate any information you can provide.
Thank you very much for your assistance!
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,
