Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority 1645 Ferry Avenue, Camden, NJ 08104

Welcome to the Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority (CCMUA), your dedicated local government office committed to safeguarding the environment and public health through state-of-the-art wastewater management. Located at 1645 Ferry Avenue in Camden, New Jersey, CCMUA proudly serves the residents and communities within Camden County, a vibrant region nestled in the southwestern part of New Jersey, across the Delaware River from Philadelphia.

Our mission is to ensure the effective and sustainable treatment of wastewater, a critical component in protecting the waterways and ecosystems of Camden County. With a population of approximately 500,000 across 37 municipalities, Camden County is a diverse blend of urban, industrial, and rural landscapes. The county is strategically positioned within the Delaware and Atlantic Basins, with waterways that flow into the Delaware River and the Atlantic Ocean.

The CCMUA was established to address the pressing environmental challenges posed by outdated municipal wastewater systems. Prior to our intervention, 45 million gallons of inadequately treated sewage were discharged daily into local lakes and streams, threatening public health and the environment. Our comprehensive regional wastewater treatment system, developed at a cost of $850 million, has dramatically reduced pollution in local waterways by 90-95%, as evidenced by improved bacteria counts.

Our facilities are designed to handle wastewater from local properties, with costs shared among all users through a quarterly sewer service bill. This initiative not only enhances water quality but also supports the restoration of our streams and rivers, making them safe and enjoyable for residents, fish, and wildlife alike.

In addition to our core services, CCMUA has spearheaded several key projects, including the Atlantic Basin Interceptor Project and a solids capture initiative, significantly expanding sewer capacity and reducing pollution in our waterways.

At CCMUA, we take pride in our role as environmental stewards. Our commitment to providing proper wastewater treatment is unwavering, as it is essential for ensuring the public health and well-being of Camden County's citizens. Join us in our mission to protect and preserve the natural beauty and resources of our community for generations to come.
