One thing worth knowing before you call: Blairstown is not on one water system but On lead service lines, the township water system is behind on its paperwork, not ahead of it: NJDEP cited Blairstown on January 3, 2024 for failing to submit the annual plan for replacing lead water service lines, and no public count of lead versus unknown lines could be verified for the system's 214 connections. The sale of the system was formalized when the Township Committee heard Resolution 2025-74 certifying emergent conditions on August 27, 2025..
