Total number of the households using underground septic system and not connected to public sewage
Dear Cranbury 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]

Good afternoon,
Please note that the following questions must be answered for any OPRA request to be processed. If you do not plan to complete an OPRA request form, please reply and answer the following questions in your request:
Under penalty of N.J.S.A. 2C:28-3, I certify that
1. I HAVE / HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States;
2.I, or another person, WILL / WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose;
3.I AM / AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding
Additionally, the township does not keep record of properties relying on septic, only properties charged for sewer. Unsure if that helps your search. It may be beneficial to send your request to Middlesex County. https://www.middlesexcountynj.gov/find-p...
Thank you,
