Livingston Wells, the Naylon Avenue Plant and Venting
Almost all of Livingston's sewage goes to the township's own plant, the Water Pollution Control Facility at 81 Naylon Avenue, which serves no other town. The Joint Meeting of Essex and Union Counties also counts Livingston in its service area, so the route may differ by address. Water is township-run as well, from 14 production wells plus supply bought from New Jersey American Water and the East Orange Water Commission.
Gas heats nearly nine in ten occupied Livingston homes, by Census estimates, and about 45 percent of houses predate 1960. In older houses a gas furnace and water heater often share one chimney. When the furnace becomes a high efficiency model vented through a side wall, the water heater can be left alone in a flue sized for two and may draft poorly. Have that flue checked when the furnace changes. Our licensed, insured staff do the work, not subcontractors.
