Milltown Borough Water and Its Older Homes
The borough owns and runs the Milltown Water Department, so a failed street main or weak pressure on every tap nearby is Milltown's to repair. Pipes on the house side, usually including the curb service line, are the owner's. Northside and Southside sewage alike goes to MCUA. At 39 Washington Avenue, the Construction Department handles permits and has its own Plumbing Sub Code Official.
Newer houses are scarce. Census estimates count only about 13 percent built in 1980 or later, and the median house went up around 1963. Original shutoff valves in a house that age can stick, and it pays to find out before a leak. Oil hangs on in about one occupied home in 20, next to gas in nearly nine of ten. An oil system needs its tank watched and its burner serviced yearly, and Vanguard services both oil-fired and gas-fired furnaces and boilers.
