Calls are handled by a local septic contractor that works Rockaway Township and the surrounding Morris County area.
Rockaway Township covers a lot of ground, from denser neighborhoods near Route 80 to lake communities and wooded northern sections near Green Pond and the Wildcat Ridge area. Plenty of homes, particularly older lake houses and properties in the northern part of the township, rely on septic systems. Small lots around lakes leave little room for error. A local septic contractor can keep your tank on a pumping schedule, inspect a home before you buy and repair or replace failing components.
Rockaway Township covers about 46 square miles, and a large share of it is Picatinny Arsenal, state land like Wildcat Ridge and Farny State Park, and watershed around Splitrock Reservoir. Homes are packed into the pockets in between, often on rocky hillsides with thin soil over bedrock. That squeeze is what makes septic work here different. Lake sections like Lake Telemark have small lots where the tank, field and well share very little room, while houses off Green Pond Road and in Marcella may face ledge a few feet down. With so much of the township draining to lakes, the Rockaway River and the Pequannock watershed, a healthy system matters to neighbors and to drinking water downstream.
