Rumson’s Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project Update

The Borough of Rumson Sanitary Sewer Project with National Water Main Cleaning Co., of Kearny, New Jersey has ensured the daily uninterrupted service provided by the Borough while extending the useful life of the system for future generations with the ongoing cleaning, inspection, and rehabilitation of more than 80 miles of sanitary sewer piping.

The recent projects have reduced our total sewer flow by over 200 million gallons in 2025.

By testing and sealing over 84,000 joints throughout the Borough’s sewer infrastructure, we are able to reduce the overall sewage flow by eliminating ground water infiltration, which directly results in significant savings in what the Borough pays to pump and treat sewage from each home and business.

The project’s next phase will focus on the west section of Oceanic with work projected to begin late winter/early spring 2026. Once again, no significant disruption is anticipated for residents during this time. For more information, visit the Borough’s Projects Page.
