Total number of the households using underground septic system and not connected to public sewage
Dear Lawrence Township (Mercer),
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]

Dear Mr. Bondarenko,
We have received your request; however, due to an OPRA reform law that was
passed by the State of New Jersey on September 3, 2024, requestors are now
asked to fill out the new OPRA application supplied by the State. This
form contains the information regarding the new OPRA law for requestors.
We have attached the new application to this e-mail for your records.
After answering the three question, please resubmit your request using
this new application, and email it to [1][Lawrence Township (Mercer) request email].
Please feel free to contact our office with any questions that you may
have.
Thank You,
Donna S. McLaughlin
Assistant Municipal Clerk
