Bergen County Water Supply Systems Bergen County is the most populous county in the State of New Jersey. The many people living in this area need a way to have fresh water delivered into their homes, and waste water carried away from those homes. As a result of this, various means of delivering water into their homes were devised.
Water is obtained using one of two systems in Bergen County.
The first is from reservoirs. These store rainwater, and purify it for human consumption. The company that delivers water from local reservoirs is United Water Company. Based in Harrington Park, NJ, this company provides and supervises water distribution services for a large part of the United States. It serves more than 750,000 residents in 60 towns in Bergen and Hudson Counties.
