Union Township Water Comes From Two Systems
New Jersey American Water supplies Union Township through two of its systems, Raritan and Passaic Basin/Short Hills, and which one feeds a house depends on the address. In both systems the mains belong to the utility, so a break, or pressure that sags on every house along the street, is New Jersey American Water's repair. When only one house runs weak, look at its own piping.
That piping may be old. Union Township's housing is mostly pre-1960, about 61 percent by Census estimates, and its median year built is 1956. Across Connecticut Farms, Battle Hill, Townley and Putnam Manor, houses that age may still have galvanized steel supply pipe. Scale and rust collect inside it over the decades, and an upstairs shower can be the first fixture to lose pressure. Copper or PEX replacement restores it. There is no fee for a Vanguard estimate.
