New Jersey American Water has acquired the water system of Hopewell Borough for $6.4 million, adding 930 new customers. The acquisition, approved by local voters and regulators, enables the company to improve service reliability and infrastructure. They plan to invest $7 million over five years to replace lead and galvanized pipes, upgrade meters and hydrants, and address water safety by shutting down a well with elevated PFAS levels. This move aims to provide safer, more reliable water service while maintaining affordable rates for the community.
