<p>, /PRNewswire/ -- 新泽西美国水务公司今天向新泽西公共事业委员会（BPU）提交了新的费率请求，以支持到 2026 年 12 月为止超过 14 亿美元的持续水和废水服务系统投资。该请求强调了公司对实施关键系统升级和继续改善全州约 290 万人水质和可靠性的承诺。</p>
<p>新泽西美国水务公司总裁马克·麦克多诺表示：“随着我们继续投资基础设施，我们正在加强系统、提升可靠性，并改善从处理到水龙头的水质，以满足依赖我们的社区的需求。” 他补充道：“这些改善反映了我们为客户提供负担得起的高质量服务的承诺，这得益于我们专注于保护我们服务的人民和社区健康与安全的员工。”</p>
<p>该提案将支持公司继续投资于现代化和加强新泽西各社区的水和废水系统，包括更换或修复近 120 英里的老旧基础设施、持续更换铅服务管线，以及投资解决饮用水中出现的污染物，如 PFAS。</p>
<p>根据公司的提案，如果获得批准，典型的平均住宅水客户每月将看到约 10 美元的增加。接受卫生废水系统服务的客户每月将看到平均 8 美元的增加。</p>
<p><strong>扩大客户援助的可及性</strong> 新泽西美国水务公司正在寻求批准，使已经通过 LIHEAP 和 USF 获得能源援助的客户更容易获得每月账单折扣。如果获得批准，这将使新泽西美国水务公司成为新泽西唯一提供这种支持水平的水务公司。麦克多诺表示：“我们的客户应当享有可靠、负担得起的水服务。我们很自豪能够扩展我们的援助项目，让更多家庭获得所需的帮助。”</p>
<p>新泽西美国水务公司始终致力于可负担性，并提供帮助符合收入资格的客户的项目，包括 H2O 帮助他人援助计划、预算账单选项和灵活的付款计划。更多详情请访问 www.newjerseyamwater.com/h2oprogram。</p>

<p>麦克多诺补充道：“这一提案将帮助确保客户受益于税收相关的节省。通过我们的费率返还 GRT 退款，我们帮助保持水服务的负担得起和公平。”</p>
