Attention residents: Due to the recent spike in COVID-19 cases, Solterra’s (the Borough’s trash collector contractor) workforce has been severely impacted by this contagious virus as has every industry across the nation. As a result of these labor hardships, your trash may not be picked up on your scheduled day and the normal 24-hour recovery pick-up of your trash may also be delayed another day depending upon the route and staff availability. Solterra will continue to utilize their resources and has even reached out to subcontractors to assist them within the next couple of weeks. Please continue to put your trash out on your normal scheduled day. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

COVID-19 RATEPAYER RELIEF MEASURES

Certain measures are in place providing relief to ratepayers experiencing economic hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic.

SERVICE SHUTOFF MORATORIUM

BE ADVISED that Executive Order 229 currently prohibits a local government from shutting off water service to a residential customer, or to accounts primarily serving residential customers, due to nonpayment of water or sewer unless the disconnection is to prevent or ameliorate a risk to public health or safety. This shutoff moratorium remains in effect until March 15, 2022.

LATE PAYMENT PENALTY AND LEIN ENFORCEMENT MORATORIUM

BE ADVISED that until March 15, 2022, Executive Order 229 places a moratorium on local governments enforcing late payment charges and penalties on utility accounts or referring a delinquent water or sewer charge to tax sale. On or after March 15, 2022, charges and penalties may be imposed for delinquent payments, and any payments remaining delinquent may be referred to a tax lien sale held by the municipal tax collector.

BILL ASSISTANCE & ARREARAGE FORGIVENESS PROGRAMS

The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) is currently developing a Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP). This program is designed to assist water and sewer customers facing economic hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Further information will be provided from the DCA once the program goes live.

OPPORTUNITY TO REPAY ARREARAGES IN INSTALLMENTS

BE ADVISED that residents experiencing economic hardship during COVID-19 and who are behind on their water or sewer payments may be eligible to enter into an agreement whereby the resident agrees to pay their arrearages in installments over a period of time. As part of the agreement, the resident MUST keep up to date ALL current charges. For more information on repaying arrearages in installments, jwatson@clementon-nj.com or 856-783-0284 x 114 or 115.
