Mayor warns residents about NJ American Water lead‑pipe inspections, points to online photo questionnaire
Summary
Mayor Tucci said NJ American Water representatives are canvassing West Long Branch to inspect for lead pipes ahead of the 2030 elimination requirement and advised residents that visits for this purpose are legitimate; a resident noted NJAW also offers an online questionnaire to request testing via photos.
Mayor Janet W. Tucci told the council that New Jersey American Water (NJAW) representatives have been canvassing the borough to inspect for lead service lines and reminded residents the company is required to eliminate all lead pipes by 2030. The Mayor advised residents that "anyone who comes to the door for this purpose is legitimate."
Resident Steve Schulz added that NJAW offers an online questionnaire allowing residents to submit photos to determine whether pipe testing is needed "as an alternative to allowing entry." The council did not take formal action on the subject during the public session but provided the public notice as a safety and informational measure. Residents seeking to avoid in‑home entry may explore NJAW's remote screening option as described by the commenter.
