One Water Company Serves All of Carteret
Middlesex Water Company provides retail water service to all of Carteret, not just part of it. So one company answers for every burst main and every street-wide pressure drop in the borough. Wastewater is sent to the Middlesex County Utilities Authority for regional treatment, while the lateral connecting a house to the sewer main is typically the owner's.
Census estimates split Carteret's housing almost evenly at 1960, with the median right at that year. Galvanized supply lines and cast iron drain stacks turn up mainly in the pre-1960 half. Houses from 1980 or later, about 29 percent, usually have copper or plastic lines instead. Three of every four occupied homes heat with gas, and most of the rest use electricity, about 12 percent, or oil, about 7 percent. The borough handles permits at 61 Cooke Avenue. We quote most jobs for free.
