Manville's Sewer Lines Changed Hands in 2024
On November 1, 2024, Manville sold its sewer collection system to New Jersey American Water, which also supplies water to most of the borough. Since December 2024, water and wastewater have come on one bill. The Somerset Raritan Valley Sewerage Authority treats the flow. For a backup, the question is where the clog sits. The main under the street is now the utility's responsibility. The lateral running from your house out to that main is usually yours.
The median Manville house dates to 1956, by Census estimates, and roughly seven in eight were built before 1980. In houses from that era, galvanized steel supply pipe tends to rust through first at the threaded joints. A small drip at a basement fitting can signal wear along the whole run. If the clog or leak is on your side, the plumber who fixes it will be ours, not a subcontractor.
