"Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has caused the deaths of wild birds across New Jersey and is being monitored by NJDEP Fish & Wildlife and federal partners.

If you see sick or dead birds, particularly in groups of 5 or more, please report your finding in the new Wild Bird Disease Reporting Form: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/749040214c974bb88c89c58483a51ab8?fbclid=IwY2xjawJRHHFleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHW7wqYL2I5s1s2GN66zz7cSuUmn7QjCyK9oVd78aDcH8-cD0y9T2ALQqwg_aem_9dVzlS0x3pyN9v0V9noNUA

Photos are encouraged, and all reports are reviewed by agency staff.

While HPAI can infect humans, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has declared that the ongoing HPAI outbreak is primarily an animal health issue that poses low risk to the health of the public. There are no reported cases of human infection in NJ.

Your input is critical for NJDEP Fish & Wildlife’s response to potential disease outbreaks in New Jersey’s wild bird population. The valuable information you provide through the Wild Bird Disease Reporting Form will add to data on wild bird health and mortality in the state.

  WATER BILL UPDATE  2/9/2026  

Due to the transition of the water system to the Woodstown Borough Municipal Utilities Authority (WBMUA), updates to the water billing structure are required. These updates are taking additional time to implement, and as a result, water bills will be issued later than usual this year. Water bills are expected to be calculated and mailed in April. The billing due date and applicable grace period will be adjusted to account for this delay. We appreciate your patience as these changes are completed to ensure accurate billing.
