NEWARK – The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs has filed a civil lawsuit against Waterworld Fiber Glass Pools, Inc., a Hammonton-based installer of in-ground swimming pools, alleging that the company defrauded multiple consumers by, among other things, failing to perform contracted-for work and/or failing to repair its own substandard work, and refusing to refund consumers’ down payments. 

\”When Waterworld allegedly failed to perform the work consumers had paid for, many of those consumers lost more than their down payments. They also faced significant additional costs related to excavating huge holes and otherwise preparing for the installation of in-ground pools that never reached their homes,\” Acting Attorney General Hoffman said.
