Branchburg Homes Built Mostly Since 1980
Even at about 18 miles out from our Scotch Plains shop, a Branchburg call reaches a real person at any hour, never voicemail. New Jersey American Water's Raritan system is the public supply, yet any given home might draw from a private well instead. Sewer service ties into the Somerset Raritan Valley Sewerage Authority, where Branchburg is one of seven member communities, but some homes may be on septic. Settle both questions at the property before assuming either.
Much of the township was built out from 1980 on, about 66 percent of houses by Census estimates. A furnace or central air unit still running from the 1980s has outlived its expected service life. Oil and propane each heat only about 3 percent of occupied homes, while gas handles about 86 percent.
