The Township of Denville is immediately implementing mandatory odd/even water restrictions through June 30, 2024. The electrical controls on one of our wells need to be repaired/replaced and, as such, that well has been taken off-line which has temporarily reduced our water production capacity.

The requirements of the mandatory odd/even water restrictions are as follows:

Properties having even number addresses shall be permitted outside water use on even number days and those having odd number addresses on odd days. This includes all businesses operating from or at a residential address. Outdoor water usage shall include the watering of lawns, shrubs, ornamental plants, sod, etc., as well as the washing of homes/commercial businesses windows, driveways, sidewalks, gutters, and homes. The restrictions also include the washing of automobiles, trucks, ATVs, boats, etc. If a commercial business is to complete work at a household, we will hold the water restrictions to the odd/even number of the home in accordance with the water restrictions in place.

Businesses that rely and survive on outdoor water use, whose business address is separate from a residential address, such as car washes, nurseries, power washing companies, etc., will be exempt from the odd/even water restrictions. Odd/even water restrictions will remain in effect for offices and commercial buildings as it pertains to lawn watering, window washing, power washing, etc., for any non-essential work and/or updates.
Multi-family dwellings, including apartment style housing, will be only permitted to use outdoor water on odd days. On even days, such water usage is prohibited.
