One thing worth knowing before you call: Parsippany-Troy Hills is not on one water system but Parsippany's 2026 service line inventory, posted on the township site, lists 14,116 water service lines and not one of them is lead: my line-by-line tally of the 70-page inventory PDF found 13,885 non-lead lines and 231 categorized G (galvanized), zero lead and zero unknown. New Jersey's replacement law counts galvanized as lead service lines, so those 231 homes are the ones getting township replacement notices.. 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 Parsippany-Troy Hills homes, The galvanized problem clusters in Mt. Tabor, the township's oldest neighborhood. The Water Department has a phased Mt. Tabor Water Infrastructure Replacement program mapped street by street, with replacement years running from 2023 (under contract) through 2029, and the map's service line legend is specifically for lines flagged Galvanized Requiring Replacement.. That is worth knowing before a line fails on its own schedule.
Unusual for New Jersey and worth saying on the page: the township sewer utility maintains the sanitary lateral from the cleanout in front of the house all the way to the plant, so a Parsippany homeowner's responsibility ends at the cleanout, not at the main. The utility asks residents with connection problems to call 973-428-7592 before hiring a contractor. Sewer is also township-run. The Parsippany-Troy Hills Sewer Utility operates roughly 370 miles of sewers and 25 pump stations, plus its own advanced wastewater treatment plant with an average daily flow of 9 million gallons, discharging at the confluence of the Rockaway and Whippany Rivers. The plant is a regional one: it also treats wastewater from Mountain Lakes, East Hanover, Montville and part of Denville under agreement. Do not publish a plant capacity number. The township's current sewer page says the plant is 36 MGD, but older township material and a search snippet of the prior page version say 16 MGD, and I could not reconcile the two from primary sources. The 9 MGD average daily flow is consistent everywhere; stick to that.
