Princeton Residents Asked to Pay for 10-Year-Old Sewer Lateral Project

A total of 102 Princeton residents are being billed for sewer laterals that were surveyed, and in some cases replaced, on Harris Road, Hillside Road, Loomis Court, Oakland Street, Cuyler Road and Walnut Lane in 2004 and 2005, Planet Princeton reports.

Those residents are being asked to pay between $50 and over $1,000, based on the length of the sewer lateral, according to the report.

Several residents purchased their homes after the work was done, and no outstanding fees or liens appeared when a title search for their home was done prior to purchase, according to the report.

A mistake was made in sending out the bills, but the town’s attorney said sending the bills out 10 years later is legal, according to the report.
