Middlesex the Borough, Not the County
Middlesex the borough is easy to mix up with Middlesex the county, but the borough has its own Construction Department at 1200 Mountain Avenue, the Borough Hall address. Permits for a house in Lincoln, East Bound Brook or anywhere else in town are filed there. Tap water is from New Jersey American Water, MCUA treats what goes down the drain, and Vanguard's Scotch Plains shop sits about 7 miles off.
Middlesex homes have a median build year near 1965, by Census estimates. Roughly a third predate 1960, and those are where leftover galvanized pipe tends to hide, sometimes even after partial repiping. Rust-tinted water at the first draw of the morning is a common sign. Natural gas warms roughly 85 percent of occupied homes, electricity about 12 percent. Vanguard does the work with its own crew and gives a written price before starting.
