Welcome to Jersey WaterCheck’s evaluation center — the Benchmark Hub.

The Benchmark Hub helps utility managers and state leaders dive into the factors that contribute to the need for water infrastructure investment. Here you will find the details, measures, reports, results, and data that we’ve gathered for every water and wastewater system in the state.

Annual amount of money received from the federal government that is used to provide project funding support for NJ drinking water utilities (state-level)

This metric shows how much funding (including both loans and grants) the state of New Jersey received from the federal Safe Drinking Water Act State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) and US Department of Agriculture. DWSRF funds are primarily used through the New Jersey Water Bank for low interest loans to public community water systems (both government-owned and privately-owned) and non-profit public noncommunity water systems to finance capital projects that upgrade, rehabilitate, or replace components of drinking water systems. Some small systems (i.e., serving municipalities with less than 10,000 people) are eligible for and receive funding through the U.S. Department of Agriculture instead of the NJ Water Bank.

Note: Not all capital projects are eligible for federal/State funds, and not all eligible projects request funds or are funded if they apply, depending on fund availability. Systems can also finance capital projects using cash flow, special fees, or market-rate bonds.
