Water Division

The Water Division of the MCMUA has been providing high quality potable water to Morris County residents since 1958. In order to serve approximately 8% of Morris County, the MCMUA has established a complex system of wells, pumps, tanks and pipelines. The MCMUA is actually a bulk water provider which means the MCMUA provides water to municipalities and other local water companies. The companies and municipalities then pipe the water to Morris County residents and businesses. Indirectly, the MCMUA serves approximately 35,000 people in Morris County. All MCMUA water is collected from underground aquifers using wells and is pumped to the surface. The MCMUA water supply is collected from eight wells which have the capacity to deliver approximately 4 million gallons of water to our customers everyday. Six of the wells are located in the Alamatong Wellfield which is located in Randolph while two wells are located in the Flanders Wellfield in Mt. Olive.

Sustainable Jersey - Protection and conservation of our water resources are important to the MCMUA and as a result Sustainable Jersey has created two water conservation Priority Action initiatives. The Sustainable Jersey certification program is for municipalities in New Jersey that want to go green, save money, and take steps to sustain their quality of life over the long term. In order for a municipality to become certified, municipalities must complete a predetermined amount of Priority Actions which are worth a certain amount of points. Below are the two water conservation Priority Actions.

Feel free to contact the MCMUA environmental specialist at 973.285.8387 with any questions you may have about the Sustainable Jersey water resources initiatives or click on the links above to go directly to Sustainable Jersey's website.

Protecting Water Supply - The MCMUA has a proud heritage of protecting Morris County’s water resources through open space acquisitions and land stewardship responsibilities. The MCMUA is a leader when it comes to preserving open space, aquifer recharge areas, in addition to lakes, rivers, and wetlands. After all, a healthy watershed equals healthy people!
