EDA Annual Report 2013-2014

County Service Area The Community Services Division oversees the operation of 60 County Service Areas (CSAs). Each CSA is authorized to provide public services based on the individual needs of each community. In fact, before services can be rendered, a super majority (67%) of the voters must authorize the service. The CSA encompasses 7,208 square miles (size of the State of New Jersey) and typically provides services in communities that lack city government, other service providers, or special districts. Economies of scale and cross training allow the CSA to provide multiple services to each community while controlling consumer costs and reducing price escalations. Customer service and value remain our highest priorities. The CSA is funded through a combination of special taxes, property taxes, and user fees to provide services to our customers.
