Older Pipes Behind North Plainfield Walls
By 1960, about 64 percent of the North Plainfield homes standing today had already been built, by Census estimates, which put the overall median at 1954. Two materials from that period deserve attention. Galvanized steel supply pipe and cast iron drain lines both deteriorate from the inside, where nobody can see it. Rusty water after the taps sit, weak flow, or a drain that keeps slowing after every cleaning are the usual hints. The borough Construction Department at 263 Somerset Street, which includes a plumbing subcode, handles permits.
As a member of the Plainfield Area Regional Sewerage Authority, North Plainfield sends its sewage into that system, and the Middlesex County Utilities Authority does the treatment. The water comes from New Jersey American Water, and about 86 percent of occupied homes heat with gas. Our own crew, never a subcontractor, comes from our Scotch Plains shop about 3 miles away.
