New Jersey American Water – Lead Service Line Replacement in Riverton
Week of October 20, 2025
New Jersey American Water (NJAW) and their qualified contractor, CDM Smith, will be conducting door-to-door inventory assessments and inspections of water service line materials in Riverton beginning the week of October 20, 2025.
This work is part of NJAW’s ongoing Lead Service Line Replacement Program, which supports the state’s goal of identifying and replacing all lead and galvanized water service lines by 2031. Representatives will have proper identification and will not ask for any payment.
New Jersey American Water’s Lead Service Line Replacement Program
In July 2021, the state of New Jersey enacted legislation that requires all water providers to share with customers the material of both the utility-owned and customer-owned service lines leading to their properties. In addition, it also requires utility companies replace utility-owned and customer-owned lead and galvanized, which is now being treated as lead according to the new state law, service lines by 2031.
New Jersey American Water is committed to replacing all lead and galvanized water service lines by 2031. Customers can visit www.newjerseyamwater.com/leadfacts to learn more about the program, look up their address on the interactive inventory map as well as a variety of resources to help educate customers about lead service lines and the company’s replacement process.
Over the coming weeks, New Jersey American Water qualified contractor, will be assessing service line materials in your area. The service line is the pipe that connects your home to the water main in the street. A portion of the service line to your residence is owned by New Jersey American Water, while the other portion is owned by the homeowner. If the service line is confirmed to be lead or galvanized, New Jersey American Water will add it to an upcoming replacement project in your area. There is no direct, out of pocket cost to you at the time of the replacement.
Please note: Customers can still use their water as they normally would as the water provided by New Jersey American Water continues to meet state and federal water quality standards, including those set for lead.
Customers are strongly encouraged to update their contact preferences and opt-in for service-related notifications from New Jersey American Water at www.amwater.com/mywater. Customers can decide how they are notified—via phone, email, or text—and can add up to three phone numbers and three email addresses.
