Cleaning, Inspecting and rehabilitating nearly 35,000 linear feet of The Borough's sanitary sewer piping < Back Sewer Rehabilitation Program Cleaning, Inspecting and rehabilitating nearly 35,000 linear feet of The Borough's sanitary sewer piping Project Summary The Borough of Rumson has contracted with National Water Main Cleaning Co., of Kearny, New Jersey for the cleaning, inspection, and rehabilitation of the Borough’s sanitary sewer piping throughout the municipality. The project will clean, inspect and rehabilitate nearly 35,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer piping in the borough to reduce extraneous sewer flows (typically, ground water infiltration) and extend the useful life of the sanitary sewer system. The funding for this project is available in part through the Federal COVID-19 response and recovery funds, The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA). Work for this project is contained to the pipes underground. No significant disruption is anticipated for residents. Trucks and equipment will be staged within the roadway near manholes to access the sanitary sewer system. The positioning of vehicles and equipment in the roadway may pose minor impacts to local traffic. Rumson Sewer Grouting Process Project Update January 2026 The Borough has successfully conducted a multi-phased approach to reducing groundwater infiltration into the sanitary sewer system over the past few years. The first project piloted in 2020 resulted in significant cost savings due to reduced treatment costs, electric utility costs and equipment maintenance and repair costs. Conservatively, the Sewer Rehabilitation program has a two to three year payback due to the realized cost savings. With the work completed to date, as well as what is on the horizon, the borough has cleaned, inspected and rehabilitated 22.8 miles of sanitary sewer. The upcoming phase of the program was awarded to National Water Main Cleaning of Newark for the Oceanic Neighborhood (west of Bingham Avenue). In addition, a future contract is being prepared by the borough’s consulting engineer for the second half of the Oceanic Neighborhood (east of Bingham Ave) for bidding and award in the second half of 2026. These necessary infrastructure rehabilitation projects ensure the daily uninterrupted service provided by the borough, while extending the useful life the system for future generations.
