On July 22, 2021, the Governor signed legislation into law for mandatory lead service line replacement, “NJ Bill A5343/S3398”, P.L.2021, Ch.183. Under this new law, public community water systems are required to inventory and replace all known lead service lines and address all service lines of unknown materials in their service areas by July 22, 2031. Additional information may be found online here and here
Step one in compliance with the law is for public community water systems to inventory lead service lines in their service area. For Wharton's lead service line inventory report please click here.
Any property that is listed as having galvanized line has been sent letters via certifiedied mail prior to February 21st. If your property is listed and you haven't recieved one, please let us know by emailing utilities@whartonnj.com

Every year the Water Department publishes a drinking water quality report. This report is designed to inform you about the water that is delivered from the Borough. The goal is to provide residents with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We continually make efforts to improve the water treatment process and to protect our water resources. To view the report for 2023 with results from 2022 click here.
Free yard waste bags for Wharton Residents are available at the Recycling Center.
If you have questions about yard waste pick up please call the DPW at 973-361-8444 x2758.
Every Spring & Fall the Borough flushes the hydrants. The date this will be done will be printed in the newspaper and posted on the Borough's social media accounts. You may experience a discoloration of your water after the flushing is done. To avoid any problems let your water run a few minutes before using.
Sewer back-ups are usually a result of grease build up in the sewer lines. To avoid this problem, please do not pour grease, oil or other foreign items down the drain or in the toilet. Discard in a container and dispose of in your regular garbage. A charge will be imposed on anyone found to be pouring grease or oil into the sewer system.
