Essex Fells Water Reaches Past the Borough Line
Essex Fells owns a water system that reaches past its own borders. Its Water Department pumps 16 wells, stores water in 3 tanks, and also supplies Roseland, Caldwell, North Caldwell and Verona's Hilltop section. When a main breaks or a whole street loses pressure, the department handles it. Low pressure at a single house often traces to its own valves or old, narrowed pipe. Sewage is treated at the Caldwell Wastewater Treatment Plant, which the Borough of Caldwell owns.
The borough's houses skew older: the median year is 1954, and about 59 percent were built before 1960, by Census estimates. Sewer laterals laid in that era were commonly clay or cast iron, and roots can enter at the joints. A camera inspection shows cracks, sags and roots before anyone plans to dig. If the pipe suits relining, Vanguard's own crew does it, with far less digging than replacement.
