A. 
There are in and about the western Monmouth area waters which are polluted and subject to pollution by sewerage and industrial and other wastes arising from causes within the territories of the municipality and the other four municipalities hereinafter mentioned. The Township Committee has ascertained that there is an imperative need to relieve such waters from pollution and thereby to reduce and ultimately abate the menace to the public health resulting from such pollution. The Sewerage Authorities Law of the State of New Jersey, (Laws of 1946, Chapter 138, as amended and supplemented; N.J.S.A. 40:14A-1 et seq.) grants power to any two or more municipalities the areas of which together comprise an integral body of territory by means and through the agency of a sewerage authority, to acquire, construct, maintain, operate or improve works for the collection, treatment, purification, or disposal of sewerage or other wastes. The Boroughs of Freehold and Farmingdale, the Township of Howell and portions of the Township of Wall and Freehold together comprise such an integral body of territory.
