Earlier this year, Long Beach Township pushed back the deadline for installation of water meters to Oct. 1 due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, the deadline has been moved again – to Dec. 1. Homeowners must purchase their meters by this date to avoid penalties.

As the municipality explains, “To be in compliance with the state’s mandate and to avoid financial penalty, the township must take action to ensure all residences have water meters installed and active by Dec. 31, 2020.”
