About Hoboken:
With over 50,000 in population and only minutes from Manhattan by mass transit, Hoboken is a New Jersey success story. Ranked America’s #1 most walkable city by walkscore.com, Hoboken’s south waterfront district has been designated a Great Place and Washington Street has been designated a Great Street by the American Planning Association. Already the fourth most densely populated city in the country, Hoboken’s population grew by almost 30% between the 2000 and 2010 census.  This significant population growth and redevelopment has heightened the need to invest in the City’s critical infrastructure in coming years.

The City owns the drinking water infrastructure that provides water transmission and distribution services to the City’s 55,000+ residents and commercial and industrialestablishments. Drinking water for the City is currently purchased from the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority (JCMUA).

For over 20 years, the system was operated by SUEZ North America (formerly United Water) in accordance with a public/private partnership agreement.On July 1, 2019, the City established a new public water utility and entered into an amended water service contract with SUEZ for operation and maintenance of Hoboken’s drinking water infrastructure. This represents a major shift in water System management for the City, as the water System is no longer being operated as a private water concession, but instead as a public water utility. A key feature of the new water service contract is the commitment of $33 million over 15 years for water infrastructure upgrades to implement the City’s Water System Renewal Plan. SUEZ will continue to maintain and operate the water System.
