New Jersey American Water Highlights Ongoing Assistance Programs

As the annual Winter Termination Program in New Jersey comes to a close on March 15, New Jersey American Water is reminding customers that a variety of long-standing assistance programs remain available year-round for those in need of support. According to the press release, the utility company offers several affordability resources, including payment plans, budget billing, and financial assistance programs. These options are designed to help customers manage their water bills, especially as the winter heating season ends and warmer weather approaches. 'Our goal is to ensure all of our customers have access to the water services they need, regardless of their financial situation,' said Jane Doe, spokesperson for New Jersey American Water. 'We encourage anyone facing difficulty paying their bills to reach out and learn about the assistance programs available to them.' The announcement comes as many households and businesses continue to navigate the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Providing reliable access to essential utilities like water is a key priority for utilities serving coastal and port communities, where maritime commerce and industry are major drivers of the local economy. New Jersey American Water serves approximately 2.5 million people across the state. The company urges customers who may be struggling to contact its customer service team to discuss available options for managing their accounts.
