The July 2026 storms exposed long-standing infrastructure challenges in New Jersey and left residents angrily asking why systems continue to struggle when heavy rain has become increasingly common.
Our latest analysis examines how the state's water, transportation and energy systems performed and what the response revealed about the state's infrastructure.
When heavy rain hits cities like Newark, Jersey City and Camden, it can overwhelm century-old sewer systems and send a mixture of stormwater and untreated sewage into nearby waterways. New Jersey has combined sewer overflow (CSO) outfalls across 21 municipalities, discharging an estimated 23 billion gallons of sewage and stormwater each year.
PFAS have been found in the bodies of an estimated 97 percent of Americans, with research linking exposure to potential health risks. Residents can use NJ’s PFAS mapping tool to check local water quality and take steps to limit exposure.
