(Clifton, N.J. – August 19, 2022) – After more than 2 years of suspending shut off service for delinquent water accounts, Passaic Valley Water Commission (PVWC) will resume shut offs on August 22, 2022.

“Here at Passaic Valley Water Commission, we understand that the global Covid-19 pandemic placed burdens on families mentally, physically, spiritually, and financially,” said Jim Mueller, the commission’s executive director. “That’s why we are encouraging customers to contact our customer service department at 973-340-4300 to discuss payment options. We want our customers to know that we’re to help.”

Since New Jersey’s Moratorium on utility shut offs ended on March 15, 2022, we have been informing our customers via social media posts and messages on bills that we will begin shutting off delinquent accounts on August 22, 2022.
