On permits: Boonton Township holds septic work to a higher standard than the state baseline. Every new individual system needs two septic tanks in series of equal size, a reserve area equal to 100% of the disposal field must be set aside for a future replacement field, and no septic system can be repaired or replaced without a permit from the Township Board of Health. Soil tests have to be witnessed by the township Sanitarian.. We pull them and handle the inspections.
Public sewer barely touches the township. Boonton Township is a member of the Rockaway Valley Regional Sewerage Authority and the RVRSA's 60-inch trunk line runs through the southern edge along the Rockaway River, but the township's own master plan says connected development is quite limited and expansion is unlikely, because most of the township sits outside the RVRSA service area. Everyone else stays on wells and septic.
