Information
The Ocean County Utilities Authority is a regional wastewater reclamation system that operates three
wastewater treatment facilities with a total combined capacity of eighty million (80) gallons per day.
The collection system consists of forty (40) pumping stations, approximately two hundred (200) miles of
force main and gravity lines, and three ocean outfall lines which serve thirty-one (31) municipalities
in Ocean County and five (5) municipalities in Monmouth County.
On average, more than ninety percent (90%) of the pollutants normally found in the wastewater received are removed before discharge of the treated effluent into the ocean at points over a mile from shore at depths of forty (40) feet or more, with high dilution ratios.
This system replaced approximately forty (40) package sewerage treatment plants that, in some cases,
provided significantly lower levels of treatment and discharged effluent into inland streams, bays,
and outfalls only short distances from shore.
The citizens of Ocean County are indeed fortunate to have state-of-the-art treatment facilities
available to accommodate both present and future growth, as well as a dedicated group of hardworking
personnel doing their best to protect public health and the environment. Without their skills,
expertise, and above all their commitment, operation of the Authority’s treatment facilities would be
impossible.
