LTMUA Utilizing Lower Township's Reverse 911 System for Emergency Calls
The LTMUA has joined forces with Lower Township to utilize the Reverse 911 emergency notification system. The System is a web-based system administered by Global Connect and utilized by the Township and local Emergency Management coordinator to contact residents in the cases of emergencies, Amber Alerts, storm warnings, heat emergencies and other important issues.
The LTMUA will utilize the system to notify Lower Township residents of water and sewer main breaks, water emergencies, water restrictions and hydrant flushing. This system will allow the LTMUA to notify residents within minutes of a water or sewer emergency in your immediate area. It will also allow the LTMUA to notify residents of semi-annual hydrant flushing to reduce the confusion of when the water mains on your street will be flushed.
The Reverse 911 system has been in place in the Township since 2009 and was funded by a New Jersey State grant so residents may be notified in the event of an emergency. Currently the Township and the Emergency Management department notify residents for Amber Alerts, storm warnings, heat emergencies and other important issues happening in the Township.
The system can outline an area, section, or even a single street and broadcast an emergency notice. The system utilizes the telephone companies listing of all registered telephone numbers. It will also notify residents on their cellular telephones if the residents register with the Reverse 911 system.
To register your cellular telephone number so you may receive these important notices, please click the Global Connect banner above.
Lower Township MUA and Lower Township jointly share municipal services in an effort to reduce duplication of services and expenses in an effort to reduce cost to the residents and taxpayers of the Township.
