Municipal Water Story

The Municipal Water Story is an "inventory" of the water supply, infrastructure, and resources in Hillsborough Township. The goal of the story is to identify ways to improve the quality, supply, and access to water for the community. In the words of former Mayor Robert Britting, "The Township Committee’s goal is for residents to feel confident that when they turn on their faucet to pour themselves a glass of well water, the water is clean and healthy."

As part of our efforts, we want to hear from anyone who lives, works, or owns property in Hillsborough! Give feedback on our Water Story and insight into all things water in Hillsborough!

Please take a moment to review our interactive Water Story site HERE or the Water Story document HERE.

This effort is done through Hillsborough Township's Sustainable Hillsborough Steering Committee. Learn more about the committee and Hillsborough's commitment to sustainability on our website at sustainable.hillsboroughnj.gov.
