New Jersey Environmental Authorities and their Boards: A Handbook
You may be a new member of an authority board, or you may be an experienced member who wishes to brush up. In either case, the Association of Environmental Authorities is pleased to help.
In New Jersey there are hundreds of authorities that manage parking, beaches, housing and more. AEA is an organization of environmental authorities – public agencies that provide drinking water, wastewater, and solid waste services to ratepayers in New Jersey. This handbook can help you navigate it all.
If you would like a printed copy, please email Karen and she will make arrangements to get one into your hands.
AEA Check-in
AEA will hold its next member check-in meetings on Wednesday, June 11 and June 25 at 8:30 a.m. It is a chance to hear about relevant info on the legislative, regulatory, and sector fronts. It is a chance to share and confer with other members. Anyone who is part of an AEA member organization may participate. These meetings are generally held the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month unless otherwise indicated. If you are unable to participate, feel free to forward information to a colleague. Contact Karen Burris if you need the login information.
The Value of AEA in Every Type of Membership
AEA has three classes of members: Regular or authority members, municipal members, and associate members. Any organization that does business within the publicly owned water, wastewater, solid waste and recycling agency sector has a place at the AEA table. Our unique focus is the management, administrative and policy development aspects of public utility service.
Toilets are not Trash Cans. AEA echoes the message of the National Association of Clean Water Agencies, reminding New Jersey that ALL wipes should be thrown into the trash –NEVER flushed down the toilet. This is especially important during the current pandemic. Check out our video.
