New Jersey A5081 prohibits water companies from charging more than one fee per fire hydrant to fire departments, fire districts, or volunteer fire.

New Jersey A5081 amends the state's water company regulations to ensure that water companies cannot charge more than one fee per fire hydrant for use by fire departments, fire districts, or volunteer fire companies. The bill specifies that while water companies may still charge for the actual cost of water main connections, they cannot impose multiple fees on the same hydrant. This change aims to provide clarity and potentially reduce costs for fire protection services. The bill takes effect immediately but remains inoperative for 60 days after enactment.
