Overview
This bill, the "Smart Planning Wireless and Water Public Utility Facilities Act," aims to encourage the placement of wireless communication equipment on New Jersey’s water public utility towers. It establishes that water public utilities must provide non-discriminatory access to these towers for wireless providers. While access is generally required, utilities can deny it if space is insufficient or if doing so would compromise the tower’s safety or structural integrity. Furthermore, the bill modifies how water companies’ tariffs are reviewed, considering rental income from wireless providers as a specific revenue stream.
