New Brunswick Water Infrastructure

We the citizens of New Brunswick, New Jersey, petition the city to allocate more funding towards water infrastructure maintenance and repair. There are many health and financial issues associated with water main breaks. There have been many concerns with the quality of water mains located across the united states since a lot of them are over 100 years old. Since New Brunswick is a large city serving over 50,000 people, it is important that the water supply and pipes that carry the water supply be of the best quality. Some of the money spent on fixing streets should be allocated towards fixing the city's water infrastructure such as pipes. This will prevent the loss of money due to water that was wasted since it was already treated. It will also prevent health risks associated with contaminated water. These current issues on aging water infrastructure are much more pressing than fixing the city's streets and therefore should have a higher priority and receive more funds.
