Construction of upgrades and improvements to the Morris Lake Water Treatment Facility located at 60 Morris Lake Rd. Sparta, NJ 07871 at a project cost of $998,000.00 were financed by the New Jersey Water Bank (NJWB). The NJWB is a State Revolving Fund program jointly administered by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (NJIB) and uses a combination of funds provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the DEP, and the NJIB to provide very low interest loans to borrowers for environmental infrastructure projects.
This project will provide water quality benefits by rehabilitating many of the chemical systems at the Morris Lake Water Treatment Plant for residents and businesses in the Town of Newton.
State Revolving Fund programs around the nation provide states and communities the resources necessary to maintain and improve the infrastructure protecting our valuable water resources nationwide.
