South Amboy Water Meters Drive Two Bills
In South Amboy, one water meter sets two bills. Middlesex Water Company supplies the water, and the city bills sewer from those same meter readings. The Middlesex County Utilities Authority treats the wastewater. A running toilet or a hidden leak can therefore push both charges up. If usage climbs while your habits have not changed, listen for a toilet that keeps refilling. Then check under sinks and around the water heater for damp spots.
Census estimates show gas heating about 83 percent of occupied homes and electricity about 11 percent, with oil and propane together near 5 percent. With about 9,400 people as of 2020, the city is small, and its Building Department at 140 North Broadway handles construction permits. Licensed and insured, we quote upfront and add no hidden fees.
