"Over the last year, DEP has further trained its focus on improving and protecting our drinking water and the health of our waterways.

Through historic investments expected to exceed $850 million by the close of the fiscal year, regulatory modernization, and enforcement initiatives, DEP has improved water quality and infrastructure, helping to ensure that communities are better served by reliably safe drinking water and can enjoy cleaner waterways."

- Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette

💧 This week is Drinking Water Week, but do you know where your water comes from? Maybe you have a municipal water supply which draws from a surface water reservoir, or maybe you have a private well that taps into a confined aquifer. Regardless, we all need to use this water responsibly, and make sure there’s enough to go around for generations to come.

2. 🔄 REUSE purposefully
3. 🔂 RECYCLE knowledgeably

#Brownfield redevelopment means cleaner, safer drinking water. From the big scale, green infrastructure, to individual rain barrels and rain gardens, there's lots of ways we can each make positive change in our community. Happy #WorldWaterDay!

Many contaminated, underutilized sites persist in NJ due to perceived risks, lack of capacity and knowledge, and disposition challenges. To address these concerns, a relatively new solution has emerged for NJ communities: land banking. https://t.co/Hohmv6ole8
