Who Fixes What in a Summit Home
Summit gets its water from New Jersey American Water's Passaic Basin system, and the city is a member of the Joint Meeting of Essex and Union Counties for sewage. That tells you who to call. If a main breaks or pressure sags for every house on the block, the water company owns the repair. A drip at one faucet is the owner's problem, and so, usually, is a clogged or broken sewer lateral running out to the street.
Roughly seven in ten Summit houses were built before 1960, Census estimates show, and about 6 percent of occupied homes heat with fuel oil. Houses of that age often pair a boiler with radiators, and those systems run best with a yearly service. Permits are filed with the Construction Division at City Hall. Pricing a job costs you nothing, and the work is covered by our New Jersey licenses and insurance.
