Avalon Nears State Water Allocation Limit

 

By Herald Staff

AVALON — The borough asks residents and visitors to reduce their water use. The borough is on a pace to exceed its state water use limits for August.
The borough’s state mandated monthly water use limit is 76.8 million gallons per month.
During the months of June and July, the borough remained under that threshold.
However, it is on pace to exceed its August allocation limit by nearly three million gallons unless water conservation measures are followed.
Avalon currently has an odd-even outdoor water system in place for residents, and renters.
If your home address is an odd number, you are permitted to conduct outdoor watering on odd numbered days during the month.
If your home address is an even number, you are permitted to conduct outdoor watering on even numbered days during the month.
No outdoor watering is permitted on the 31st of any month.
Avalon has petitioned the NJDEP to increase their permitted withdraw.
This is a lengthy process that evaluates the negative impacts that this increased withdraw would have on the environment.
Until the evaluation is complete, Avalon must adhere to the allocation it was granted at its last renewal 10 years ago.
