Subject: OPRA request - Total number of the households using underground septic system and not connected to public sewage

Dear Bridgewater Township,

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.

Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your response within the statutory timeframe of seven business days.

Sincerely,

Email: [email address]

P: 6095402690
