See Updated Sewer Project Schedule For Mendham This Week

MENDHAM, NJ — The National Water Main Cleaning Company (NWMCC) is continuing work on a sanitary sewer rehabilitation project that will affect eight different roads in the borough this week, according to officials.

During construction hours, officials have asked residents to limit the amount of liquid that goes down their drains and avoid using washing machines or dishwashers to avoid sewer flows backing up into their property.

The goal of the sewer project is to clear and reconstruct clogged sewer lines, which pose a variety of risks ranging from angry residents to public safety hazards.

During certain stages of the operation, residents may notice an odor; to treat this, pour one to two gallons of water down the drain and open any windows.

Here are the affected roads for this week:

• July 20: Deerfield Road, Muirfield Lane and Wilson Street
• July 21: Loryn Lane, Pembroke Drive and Mendham Commons Way
• July 22: Loryn Lane, Franklin Road and Drake Road

According to NWMCC, there may be an interruption in sewer service during the day. In some cases, members of the NWMCC may request access to your basement or bathroom if problems arise.

Throughout the construction process, NWMCC crew members will place door hangers to notify residents of any service interruptions.
