FAQs
Since Roselle is an older community, many of its sanitary sewer mains are cracked and are crumbling. Many are in the process of being replaced. During heavy rains, the old sewer mains cannot handle the increased flow of rainwater and sanitary waste due to infiltration. Property owners can help by disconnecting downspouts from sanitary lines, but sometimes, the lateral and/or sewer main become clogged with debris. The Borough is not permitted on private property to clear private sewer laterals. You may call the DPW to inspect the mains in front of your property and clean them if necessary. Maintenance of sewer laterals is the responsibility of property owners and not the Borough. If you are having a sewer emergency, you may call the DPW directly at (908) 245-2920 during business hours.
