Mandatory Lawn and Landscape Watering Restrictions 

Effective Monday, June 17 and Tuesday, June 18 , 2024

 

Due to the work being performed by the Ocean County Engineering Department to the bridge structure on Colonial Drive, a section of township water main on the bridge must be relocated.  This work will be performed overnight on June 17 -18, 2024 in an effort to reduce the impact to our residents.  However, temporary water restrictions must be put in place stopping ALL IRRIGATION during these two days.  We also ask that our residents limit water use as much as possible during this time.

The Eastern Service Area generally includes the portion of the Township lying along Route 37 and east of the Lakehurst Naval Air Engineering Station/Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst.

  1. Irrigation is not permitted starting at 12 noon, June 17 until 12 noon June 18.
  1. These restrictions shall apply to all residential and commercial properties served by Manchester Township that are located in the Water Utility’s Eastern Service Area.
  1. These restrictions shall not apply to residents and commercial properties which are served by other water utility companies or which obtain their potable water from their own private well. 
  1. Violators of these restrictions are subject to fines.

Thank you for your anticipated compliance with these water conservation measures.
