Springfield Keeps Sewer and Storm Water Separate
Springfield keeps two drainage networks apart. The sanitary sewer carries household wastewater to the Rahway Valley Sewerage Authority, and a separate storm system handles rain. Toilets, sinks, tubs and the washing machine belong on the sanitary side. Downspouts and sump pump discharge do not. Clean rainwater sent into a sanitary line can overload it and push sewage back up into basements.
Springfield's building stock splits near 1960: about 45 percent of homes predate it, the median is 1962, and about 29 percent date from 1980 or later, by Census estimates. Drinking water comes through New Jersey American Water's Short Hills system, which is also listed under the name Passaic Basin. For permits, Springfield's Building Department works out of the Engineering Annex at 20 North Trivett Avenue. Day or night, a call to Vanguard reaches a person, not a recording.
