Old Bridge Municipal Utilities Authority

We at the Old Bridge MUA endeavor to ensure our customers are supplied with water and wastewater services even when the weather threatens our local infrastructure. Our management has been monitoring the potential for extreme weather that may arrive in a few days and we have taken steps to provide uninterrupted service. Every one of our pump stations that services our community has a backup generator and we constantly test and verify that these generators are in complete working order. The last major test we had was during hurricane Sandy as all of our generators provided power to more than 40 key points of infrastructure that were without electricity for up to 14 days. We believe that a job well done means uninterrupted service and we understand the responsibility we have to the community. Here is a video of our 500 kilowatt generator at our main facility being tested yesterday. We regularly test the backup generators on a monthly basis to make sure everything is fully operational should the need arise. Please be safe if we get any bad weather and rest assured we are prepared as best we can to weather the storm.

OBMUA 2017 year of operations

With great pride in our work and professionalism we gave our 2017 presentation to the Old Bridge Township Council and Mayor Henry. We are required to do a reporting of our past year of operations. This was done in a public town council meeting on October 9, 2017. We are very lucky to have such articulate and knowledgeable representation from our commissioner Art Haney and Chief Engineer Mike Roy. Better get a cup of coffee as it goes on for about an hour :) #OBMUAonCAMERA You can view the entire town council meeting on the OBTV youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UuDOtDNfNQ

A Typical Month With Our Crews At Work

Our crews working on street valves, meter replacements and new water feed installations.

The OBMUA staff welcomed Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno and Old Bridge Mayor Owen Henry to our exhibit at today's Old Bridge Day. Our senior operator Charles Winkler discussed the importance of proper disposal of cooking oil and how it should never be poured down the drain. Cooking oil and melted butter should be frozen in cans and thrown out in the garbage. This avoids blockage and expensive maintenance on our infrastructure.

OBMUA on Camera: Featuring Water Meter Transmitters

Today is finally World Water Day and we have a question for you! Are you a waster?.....Don't think too hard because the answer is yes – we’re all wasters when it comes to wastewater. In fact 80% of it just flows back to nature untreated, polluting the environment and wasting a precious resource. Today help us share the goal to reduce the quantity and pollution of our wastewater, and safely reuse as much as we can. So, don’t be a waster. Reduce and reuse wastewater.
