Dear River Edge Borough,
Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA), N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., I am requesting access to records related to the number of households with septic systems in [Municipality Name].
Specifically, I am requesting:
1. The total number of residential properties that rely on septic systems and not connected to public sewage within the municipality. Septic is also known as Individual Sewage Disposal System (ISDS)
I request these records in digital format (CSV, Excel, or PDF) if available. If the information is maintained in a database, I request an export of relevant fields.
If any portion of this request is denied or redacted, please provide a written explanation citing the specific legal reasons for the denial. If the records are available online, I appreciate guidance on how to access them.
Please advise me of any fees before processing the request if they exceed the standard OPRA fee schedule.
