New Jersey American Water is expanding its footprint in the Garden State after completing acquisitions of two local utility systems in Sussex and Mercer counties.
The company finalized its purchase of Montague Sewer & Water Co. on June 1, adding about 810 water and 270 wastewater customer connections as part of a $315 million multi-state deal by its parent company, officials said.
On June 30, the utility closed a $6.4 million acquisition of the Hopewell Borough water system, adding about 930 new water customers. The deal followed a 2025 voter referendum and a subsequent approval from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.
