Total number of the households using underground septic system and not connected to public sewage
Dear New Hanover 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 morning Denis,
I am going to respond to your OPRA request but please note that there are three questions that are now required by law to answer. I have attached the updated OPRA form for you to use for future requests.
All homes, roughly 270 houses, are on septic in New Hanover Township.
Sincerely,
Susan Jackson,
