Lakewood MUA has instituted a new rapid emergency notification service called CodeRED®. The new system will distribute emergency messages via telephone and email to targeted areas in lakewood water areas at a rate of 1,000 calls per minute. CodeRED® employs a one-of-a-kind Internet mapping capability for geographic targeting of calls, coupled with a high-speed telephone calling system capable of delivering customized pre-recorded emergency messages directly to homes and businesses, live individuals and answering machines.

By registering, you'll be added to the emergency call list.

This service will be used for Water and Sewerage system problems. Calls can be geographically targeted for localized messaging. If widespread, the entire community could be called within 20 to 30 minutes. The system also reports who did not get a call so that they may be contacted by other means.

Lakewood MUA customers are welcome and encouraged to enter their contact information for home, business, and mobile phones so they may be contacted by the system in the event of an emergency. It is important for Lakewood residents and businesses customers to register, especially if they use unlisted numbers, cell phones, or VOIP. Those who do not register their address and phone number may not be notified with CodeRED® in the case of an emergency. Registration is confidential, free, and easy.

For those residents without Internet access, they may call Lakewood MUA at 732-363-4422 to supply their information over the phone. Required information includes first and last name, street address (physical address, no P.O. boxes), city, state, zip code and primary phone number.

If you are not in our telephone database and do not want to be in our database, you don't need to do anything, and the CodeRED® system will not call you. However, if you are in our database, and you do not want to be in our database and be contacted by CodeRED®, you must fill out a Do Not Call Form. Once you fill out the form, return it to Lakewood MUA, 390 New Hampshire Avenue, Lakewood NJ 08701. The form will then be forwarded to CodeRED® for processing. Please allow time for your number to be removed from our database.
