Sewer & Water Line Repair in Lincoln Park, NJ
Lincoln Park sits about 21 miles southeast of our Hamburg yard, roughly 30 minutes out, so we can get a crew and the right machine there without a long wait. For an active leak or a backed up sewer in Lincoln Park, that matters. We dig out the line, make or coordinate the repair, backfill properly, and put the yard back.
In a built-up borough like Lincoln Park, many homes from the 1945 to 1972 era still have Orangeburg sewer laterals, a tar and wood fiber pipe that flattens and fails with age. We replace them week in and week out, and we handle the tie-in at the main.
Lincoln Park is on town sewer, so the job is usually the lateral from the house out to the main, and the tie-in at the street.
Work that touches the public side goes through 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., and we deal with them directly so you are not chasing it.
One thing worth knowing before you call: Lincoln Park is not on one water system but 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.. Which one serves your address decides whose records your service line sits in, so it is the first thing to establish rather than the last.
On older Lincoln Park homes, 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.. That is worth knowing before a line fails on its own schedule.
On permits: 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.. We pull them and handle the inspections.
