Town Surface Water Supply
The Town's surface water supply is the Morris Lake reservoir located in Sparta Township. This has been Newton's water source since the early 1900s.
Water Department personnel:
- Operate and maintain the water system
- Perform quarterly water meter readings
- Inspect all fire hydrants semi-annually
- Monthly leak detection
Since the Filtration Plant came online in 2006, Newton has met the lead and copper limits as required by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).

The waste water treatment plant, with a capacity to treat 1.4 million gallons per day, processes an average of .910 million gallons of waste water flow daily.
