Sewers

See "Sewer Charges" below to learn about your bill or making a payment.

The Montgomery Township Sewer Department consists of the Director of Wastewater Operations, Laboratory Supervisor, Senior Operators, Collection System Specialist, as well as Operators and Laborers. Together they oversee operations and maintenance of four (4) advanced wastewater treatment facilities and seventeen (17) sewage pumping stations as well as over 56 miles of wastewater lines. This staff is responsible for complying with very stringent New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) standards. The Township laboratory is certified with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) for some of the monthly effluent compliance testing. The Sewer Utility performs most operations and maintenance internally but also relies on contractors for specific lab testing, equipment maintenance, and sewer line repairs/excavations.

The Sewer Division appreciates the cooperation of every resident utilizing the Township’s sewer system in not flushing items other than waste and tissue down drains. Blockages, back-ups, and costly repairs. The handout below explains more.
