The Division of Water Supply has created a database to manage each public water system's surplus or deficit (firm capacity and Water Allocation Permit). The database also includes information such as the public water system's available water supply limits, water demand, and firm capacity.

You may access this information for a specific public water system by performing a search below. Enter the PWS Identification Number or Select the County in which the System is Located; a list of systems in that county will be displayed.*

*Not all of the public water systems in New Jersey are included in the database. The table currently contains public water systems that have a demand greater than 100,000 gallons of water per day and have had some water main extension activity since January 1, 2002. If you require safe demand and firm capacity information not available on this web site please contact the Bureau of Water System and Well Permitting at 609-984-6831 or for water allocation information please contact the Bureau of Water Allocation at 609-292-2957.

In addition, a glossary and links to additional information are provided following the water supply deficit/surplus value for the public water system.

The Division of Water Supply used the most recent available data at the time the database was developed. The Division anticipates updating the web site on a monthly basis. This is important to consider when making water supply decisions; information may change, therefore, decisions should not be made solely on the information provide through this web site. For more information, please contact the Water System and Well Permitting at 609-984-6831.
