New Providence Sewage Takes Two Routes
Wastewater in New Providence can take two routes. The borough's own plant pumps up to 3.0 million gallons a day through Summit to the Joint Meeting of Essex and Union Counties in Elizabeth, which does the final treatment. Flow above that amount is treated by the borough and discharged to the Passaic River. Whichever route the flow takes, the homeowner is usually responsible for the house's sewer lateral out to the main.
Housing here sits right at the 1960 line. About 46 percent predates it, and the median is about 1962, according to Census estimates. Those older houses can hide galvanized steel water lines that rust inside and slowly cut pressure. Gas is close to universal as a heating fuel, at roughly 88 percent of occupied homes, and oil barely registers. New Jersey American Water provides the drinking water.
