Bridgewater Floodplains and Basement Protection
Bridgewater's stormwater plan places the whole township in the Raritan River basin and maps 100-year floodplains in several parts of town. For a house in or near one of those areas, the basic basement protections are a working sump pump, a battery backup and a backwater valve on the sewer line. The time to test that pump is on a dry day, well ahead of a storm.
Sewer runs in layers here. Collection lines are run by the township's Sewer Utility Division, while treatment happens at the Somerset Raritan Valley Sewerage Authority. Some of the township may send its flow elsewhere instead, to the Plainfield Area Regional Sewerage Authority and then the Middlesex County Utilities Authority, and which part is not documented. Water is a simpler story, with New Jersey American Water's Raritan system serving the township. Every job there is handled by our licensed, insured team.
