Listen to AEA Stream Line, the AEA podcast
The AEA podcast, AEA Stream Line, provides interesting conversation and news about New Jersey water, wastewater, and solid waste issues. On the latest episode, two former presidents of NJ and Pennsylvania discuss why so-called “fair market value” laws inflate the purchase price of water and sewer systems — which is a bad deal for customers.
