News About Prohibited Sanitary Sewer Connections In Manasquan

Manasquan will be conducting a thorough inflow and infiltration analysis of the sanitary sewer system in conjunction with the borough's Municipal Utility Asset Management Plan during calendar year 2019.

This will include detailed metering and camera inspection throughout town in order to identify unintended or unauthorized discharges into the sanitary sewer and recommend corrective actions, officials say.

Residents are reminded that as per Borough Ordinance No. 1713-9622, “No cellar drains, area drains, roof leaders, sump pumps or down spouts shall be connected to the sewer system.”

In order to avoid penalties resulting from non-compliance, residents are advised to contact a plumber to immediately correct any unauthorized connections.

If you have any questions regarding sanitary sewer connections, please contact Manasquan’s Construction & Code Department at (732) 223-0544 ext. 307 or by visiting the second floor of Borough Hall.
