Liberty Water and the Joint Meeting in Elizabeth
Liberty Water Company runs the City of Elizabeth's water system, with New Jersey American Water as its operator. Your water bill names the utility that serves your address, so check it before you report a water main break or low pressure affecting your neighbors too. Wastewater goes to the Joint Meeting of Essex and Union Counties, where Elizabeth is a customer municipality.
The city is home to about 137,000 residents, and its housing spans generations. Going by Census estimates, roughly 54 percent of its homes went up before 1960, and about 27 percent were added in 1980 or after. In the older ones, galvanized water lines and cast iron drains may still be in service. About 86 percent of occupied homes keep warm with gas. Even at 2 a.m., the phone is picked up by a person instead of going to voicemail.
