CRANBURY — Monroe Township flushed its sanitary sewer system maintenance agreement with Cranbury due to the increasing demands of its own system and what it alleges is a sluggish response on Cranbury’s part to system repair.

[James Taylor]

Monroe notified us that our agreement would not be renewed in 2015.

The cost for major repairs and modifications to a sewer system fall back on the sewer residents with increased rates. To minimize rate increases and ensure we're taking appropriate action we review the repairs with our engineer and licensed sewer operator. We obtain their professional advice and recommendation including any potential alternate suggestions that may reduce our costs.

When we deem repairs necessary we follow our professionals' advice and address the issue immediately to ensure our system remains operational.

Please rest assured, that our sewer system is operating fine and S. Brunswick is supporting our sewer system while we actively review the best long term solution.
