In addition, you may wish to see the schematic of the ground water budget for the Towaco Valley Aquifer. From three wells, the MUA pumps an average of 1,900,000 gallons of water each day from the aquifer. The water is systematically delivered to households and businesses from one of the five storage tanks which combined store up to 4,000,000 gallons of water, and through five strategically placed booster pumps, which move the water along and push it to the different elevation levels throughout town. During the summertime peak usage period, the Aquifer water is occasionally supplemented by water from the Jersey City reservoir in Parsippany. Water Rates Montville MUA charges Water Usage Rates .
Usage is determined by actual meter readings.
Your home's meter is located inside your house close to where the main water pipe connects to your house. A meter reading is taken by the MUA every three months to determine the home's water usage. The Touch Pad is a small device connected by a wire to your inside meter that electronically takes your inside meter reading. If there is a question about your usage level, you may want to check to see if there are any leaks in your system. Click to the Water Conservation section for tips on how to do this.
