Notice of Water Service Line Material Confirmation
In July 2021, P.L.2021, Ch.183 (Law) was enacted, requiring lead and galvanized service lines in their service area within 10 years to be replaced. Under the law, the Borough of Seaside Park is required to inventory public and private water services to identify all service line materials. The Borough’s water service line inventory is available at www.seasideparknj.org on the Water & Sewer Operations and Repairs Page. The current service line inventory identifies this address as an unknown material for the “PRIVATE WATER SERVICE” as identified in the image below.
In an effort to report all private water service line materials to the State of New Jersey, the Borough of Seaside Park is requesting you, the Homeowner, to inspect your current water service and determine the material that has been installed for your property. Enclosed with this letter you will find pictures of the following water service materials:
- Copper Water Service
- Polyethylene (Plastic) Water Service
- Galvanized Water Service
- Lead Water Service
The Borough of Seaside Park is requesting that you complete a survey to help determine the material type of the private water service line at the property lot and block as identified on the mailing envelope. The survey can be completed by either using the provided QR Code (online https://arcg.is/1XLi0H0) or by returning the attached survey to the Borough Hall, 1701 N. Ocean Avenue, Seaside Park, NJ 08752 with Address and Attention to: Joshua Fox, Water Superintendent.
For reporting purposes or to ask any questions regarding this matter, you can contact Joshua Fox the Borough of Seaside Park’s Water Superintendent via e-mail at jfox@seasideparknj.org.

2023 Seaside Park Lead Service Line Inventory
The NJDEP requires the Borough of Seaside Park to maintain a material inventory of all its service lines in its water system. The Borough shares ownership of these service lines with the homeowner. The Borough is responsible for the water line from the water main to the curb line. Homeowners are responsible for the water line from the curb line to the structure. In an effort to help maintain this NJDEP requirement, we ask that you contact the Seaside Park Water Department at 732-793-1240 or email jfox@seasideparknj.org if you know your service line material.

Tips for saving water inside your home
Bathroom
Bathroom use accounts for about 75 percent of the water used inside the home.
- Check regularly for any leaks in your toilet, faucets and water hose bibs and fix them.
- Install a low-flow showerhead.
- Replace older, larger-use toilets with the newer higher efficiency toilets.
- Take short showers and save the baths for special occasions.
Kitchen
About 8 percent of in-home water use takes place in the kitchen.
- Wash only full loads in the dishwasher. An efficient dishwasher usually uses much less water than washing dishes by hand.
- Install a low-flow faucet aerator, which can cut water use in half.
- When buying a new dishwasher, consider purchasing a water-saving model. (New models use up to 25 percent less water than older ones.)
Around the house
- Wash only full loads in the clothes washer. Washing small loads uses over twice as much water per pound of laundry.
- When buying a new clothes washer, consider purchasing a water-saving model.
- Insulate hot water pipes where possible to avoid long delays (and wasted water) while waiting for the water to “run hot.” When building a new home, keep the distance short between the hot water heater and showers and other places that hot water is used.
