United Water New Jersey

who we are


United Water New Jersey was founded as Hackensack Water Company in 1869. The company's name was changed to United Water New Jersey in 1995 to reflect the relationship with its parent company, United Water Resources, and its sister companies throughout the nation.

Throughout its history United Water New Jersey has used state-of-the-art technology to provide customers with the highest quality water and service. For example, in 1929, the company pioneered the use of powdered activated carbon to improve the taste of drinking water. In 1986, we became the first water utility to implement automatic meter reading technology. And in 1989, we opened one of the nation's first ozone water purification plants in Haworth, New Jersey. Today, we continue our commitment to use advanced technology to provide you with the highest quality water and service.


 

Our parent company, United Water, provides water and wastewater services to 7 million people in the United States. In addition to owning and operating regulated utilities, United Water Resources operates municipal water and wastewater systems through public-private partnerships and contract agreements.

United Water Resources is a subsidiary of Suez Environment, a global leader in energy, water and waste services.


United Water seeks to be the premier water services company in North America. "Premier" designation is never ours to claim or own. We earn it only through the eyes of our customers, our employees, our shareholders and the communities where we operate. And every day we must earn it all over again.

Our corporate logo, the water star, symbolizes our mission to be premier. The individual drops represent what we strive to provide our customers--pure, clean water and stellar service.-
