New Jersey Area Utilities |
|
When you move to a new city, there's
always a lot that you need to do. It can sometimes take a while for
utilities to be activated. It's a good idea to scout ahead and
contact your new utility providers to see how you should best go
about getting your utilities set up.
You might need to show proof of address before you are allowed to
set up your utilities. You might also need a picture id as well. If
you are already established in your home, the information below can
also help you if there are any problems with your service. If you
are moving within the city, you might have to just contact your
current provider to transfer service to your new location. Also,
some providers only service parts of the city. Know if you are
leaving their coverage area and how that will affect you.
In addition, if you are planning to do any construction on your
property or dig in your yard, you should contact you local utility
companies. This is to make sure you don't dig in to any underground
wires or plumbing. You could not only seriously hurt yourself, but
also cause a major problem with utility service in your area. This
is a smart and safe way to make sure that you don't do anything
foolish while making improvements to your land. |

Division of energy
Nusha Wyner, Director
The Division of Energy is responsible for traditional regulatory
responsibilities associated with the natural gas and electric
industries, in addition to the evolutionary facets of deregulation and
retail competition. With the enactment of the Electric Discount and
Energy Competition Act of 1999 ("EDECA"), the Division's
responsibilities have significantly increased and changed as it fosters
electric and natural gas retail competition in New Jersey.
Division of telecommunications
Anthony Centrella, Director
The Division of Telecommunications oversees the performance of the
telephone companies, under the Board's jurisdiction. It is responsible
for developing a framework for competition while also investigating the
prices and conditions of company offerings to the public. The Division
regularly deals with issues concerning the prices to be paid by
competitive telecommunications companies that need to lease portions of
the existing telephone network to provide service to their customers.
Monitoring the need for new area codes, investigating ways to conserve
the use of telephone numbers and overseeing the level of service quality
are additional areas of responsibility. The Division will also assist in
resolving disputes when companies cannot agree on rates, terms and
conditions of service.
Division of water and wastewater
Maria Moran, Acting Director
The Division of Water and Wastewater oversees the regulation of over 75
investor owned water and wastewater companies. The Division regularly
deals with issues such as: establishing rates; assessment of water and
wastewater infrastructure needs and costs; assuring a safe and reliable
water supply; droughts; smart growth impacts on water and wastewater
costs and availability; water reuse; depletion of aquifers; service
interruptions; terms and conditions of water and wastewater service and
management; and conservation initiatives. |
