The Authority was created for the purpose of constructing and operating a sanitary sewerage system for the collection and disposal of wastewater and a water supply and distribution system within the Township of Monroe, County of Gloucester. The Authority has 8 wells in Cohansey strata with pumping capacity of 4MGD; 2 ASR Wells and 28 pumping stations; and also a sewage collection system with sewage being pumped to the Gloucester County Utilities Authority.
