Replacing aging driveways and walls in Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park is a long-established community, and in older neighborhoods the driveways, retaining walls, and drainage that went in decades ago are wearing out. A big part of what we do here is tearing out cracked, failing work and rebuilding it to last, often on tight lots where access takes real care.
We also do a fair amount of site work where older properties are being rebuilt or expanded. That is a big part of what we do here, but it is far from the only thing. We still handle sewer and water lines, septic, grading, driveways, and emergency digs across town.

Whether it is an emergency sewer or water line dig-out, a septic system, a lot that will not drain, or a new driveway, we bring our own equipment and an operator who knows the ground in this part of Morris County.

What tends to be in the ground in Lincoln Park
Most of Lincoln Park went up in the 1980s, across roughly 4,305 housing units.
Roughly 38% dates to the 1940s through early 1970s. That is the Orangeburg window, and pipe from it is past the age where it can be counted on.
Housing-age figures: US Census American Community Survey 2019–2023 5-year estimates, table B25034. Pipe service lives are documented industry figures. What is actually under any one property varies, so we confirm it on site before we quote a replacement.
Most of Lincoln Park is on public water, but not all of it
About 56.5% of Lincoln Park’s land area sits inside a public water purveyor’s delivery area, shared between 2 different systems. The largest is Lincoln Park WD, then Lincoln Park - Jacksonville Sys. Sewer is the other half of that, and here the two do not line up: about 43.7% of Lincoln Park sits inside a mapped sewer service area against 56.5% for water, a gap of 13 points. In that gap you get houses on town water with their own septic system in the yard, which catches people out when a tank needs work in a town that feels fully built up. All of this is land area rather than houses, and a main running past a property does not mean the property is on it, since plenty kept the well after the main went in.

The part that changes the job here
Sewage from Lincoln Park goes to the Two Bridges Sewerage Authority, formally the Pequannock, Lincoln Park and Fairfield Sewerage Authority, whose regional treatment plant sits right in Lincoln Park (mailing address PO Box 188, Lincoln Park 07035) and has run since 1979. Design capacity is 7.5 million gallons a day, rated to reach 10 MGD, and treated effluent discharges to the Pompton River. The borough itself handles local sewer billing: a flat $150 a year for a single-family house.
Lincoln Park runs its own municipal Water Department (34 Chapel Hill Rd), but it doesn't treat its own supply. Except for the Jacksonville section, the whole borough drinks purchased water sourced from the 29.6-billion-gallon Wanaque Reservoir, bought through the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission and delivered by Passaic Valley Water Commission of Little Falls. The Jacksonville area is on a separate small system with its own posted water-quality report. Latest posted test tables show lead at a 3.62 ppb 90th percentile, well under the 15 ppb action level, and the borough flushes its hydrants twice a year.
Lincoln Park's NJDEP service line inventory for the main water system (PWSID NJ1416001, filed January 2022 by the DPW Director) counts 3,670 service lines: zero lead, 44 galvanized, and 3,626 non-lead, with the borough committing to replace 4 of the galvanized lines per year. Reading the address rows, the 44 galvanized lines cluster in one neighborhood: Riveredge Road, Oak Street, Kopp Street, Doric Street and Crestwood Court.
Septic work in Lincoln Park is permitted by the borough's own Health Department at 34 Chapel Hill Road, not the county. Posted fees: $150 for a new septic location and installation, $50 for an alteration or abandonment, $25 for a repair, $200 for soil logs/PIT test on new construction, and $50 for a re-inspection.
Lincoln Park is part sewered, part septic
About 43.7% of Lincoln Park’s land area falls inside a mapped sewer service area, treated at Two Bridges SA. A service area is where sewer is planned and permitted, not a promise that a main runs past your house, so the only way to settle it for one address is to look. Outside it, septic.
Sewer connections, laterals and septic work are all things we do, and which one you need is usually settled in one phone call. Sewer and water line work.
