TO OUR CUSTOMERS:

Notice is hereby given that on November 13, 2020, New Jersey-American Water Company, Inc. ("Company") filed with the Board of Public Utilities ("Board" or "BPU"), pursuant to N.J.S.A. 48:2-21 andN.J.A.C. 14:9-7.1, et seq., a petition seeking to increase rates for water and sewer service through revisions to the Purchased Water and Purchased Wastewater Treatment Adjustment Clauses ("PW AC" and "PST AC", respectively). The proposed rates in the petition would decrease annual revenues by ($3,457,278) or -0.46%. The proposed change in rates provides no profits to the Company.

Those wastewater treatment services are provided by the Ocean County Utilities Authority, the Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority, and Howell Township.
