Sewer & Water Line Repair in Mine Hill, NJ

In a township like Mine Hill a lot of homes run on wells and septic, so the buried lines are water service from the well, the line out to the septic tank, and everything in between. Rocky ground and long runs are normal here, and so are we.

Mine Hill is a mix of town sewer and septic depending on the street, so the first thing we work out is which one you actually have.

Work that touches the public side goes through Mine Hill runs its own water utility (Mine Hill Township Water Department, PWSID NJ1420001), but it doesn't own a single well or treatment plant. Every gallon is bought wholesale from the Morris County MUA through one interconnection on Randolph Avenue at the town line; MCMUA pumps it from the Alamatong well field in Randolph and the Flanders Valley well field in Roxbury., and we deal with them directly so you are not chasing it.

One thing worth knowing before you call: Mine Hill is not on one water system but The township has finished its state-required lead service line inventory and found zero lead service lines in the system. In the August 2024 round of lead and copper sampling, all 20 samples came back under the limits. So on the water side, replacing lead lines is not the work here; it's copper and plastic services off a purchased-water system.. 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 permits: Sewer capacity in Mine Hill is contractually capped, so a new connection depends on township gallonage allocation, not just a permit. NJDEP's 2020 adopted plan maps 633.8 acres of sewer service area in town (490 acres assigned to the RVRSA plant), puts Mine Hill's metered flow at 0.0832 million gallons a day, and finds that full build-out would push the RVRSA plant 0.046 MGD past its 12 MGD permitted capacity, meaning the township would have to amend its RVRSA contract to get more flow.. We pull them and handle the inspections.

Sewer here is a township-run collection system that sends flow to the Rockaway Valley Regional Sewerage Authority under a 1987 contract that started at 37,000 gallons a day and grew to 94,000. In the mayor's 2015 update, only the 'top of the hill' had sewers (Williams Street, Central Avenue and Pine Street already had mains), the town was using about 55,000 of its 94,000-gallon allocation, and the plan was to add roughly 300 more homes; the 'flats' on the west side had no sewers at all.
