Summary: The North Hudson Sewerage Authority serves the City of Hoboken, Union City, West New York and Weehawken. The Authority becames the first, and to date only, wastewater authority in New Jersey to privatize its operations in 1989 after an EPA consent order compelled local communities to surrender their failing treatment facilities in 1988.
The four municipalities include Union City, which accounts for 35% of annual flows, Hoboken, responsible for 31%, and West New York and Weehawken, which account for 26% and 8%, respectively. System assets consist primarily of about 100 miles of sewer mains and two waste water treatment facilities that provide both primary and secondary treatment. Combined treatment capacity of 33 million gallons daily (mgd) compares adequately to average daily flows of 22.5 mgd in 2008. Effluent is disposed of through outfalls into the Hudson River. The authority, which entered into a 15-year operation and maintenance contract with a private operator in 1997, bills 21,000 accounts directly, and no customer concentration exists. Collections are consistently at or near 100%.
