SANITARY SEWER SURVEYS IN DECEMBER

Beginning in December, Berkeley Heights Sewer Department Personnel will conduct site surveys of Sanitary Sewer Easements throughout the Township. This work will include clearing overgrown areas to maintain access to the sanitary sewer infrastructure, as well as cleaning and video inspection of the underground piping. Completing this work is anticipated to have no adverse effects on sanitary sewer service to the surrounding areas, but in the event of a service disruption, please notify the Berkeley Heights Sewer Department immediately.
To complete this work, crews will be utilizing motorized and mechanical equipment, with some associated noise. While Township Residents are encouraged to partner in the care and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system through responsible usage, residents are requested to keep children and pets away from these work areas during the activities.
Sanitary Sewer Easements are located in various neighborhoods throughout the Township where underground piping is located in backyards, or natural areas. These are identifiable on a residential property survey, or on Municipal Tax Maps. Further, permanent structures such as swimming pools, children’s swing sets, or sheds; that inhibit access to the underground piping are prohibited to be constructed within the confines of an easement.
For any questions or concerns regarding this, please contact: Tom McAndrew, Berkeley Heights Sewer Department Superintendent at (908) 464-5700 or Tmcandrew@bhtwp.com.
