Raritan Township Stormwater Utility Fee Credit

Own a property with a stormwater management system (existing system meeting standards, one meeting the current NJ Stormwater BMP Manual, or green infrastructure such as a rain garden or drywell that exceeds requirements) and apply for a credit against the annual stormwater utility fee.

• Application fee of $25 for properties billed up to 2 ERUs (typical single-family home), paid by check with the application
• Enter a maintenance agreement for the stormwater system (developed during the application if none exists)
• Submit an annual inspection report certifying maintenance, due within 30 days of the approval anniversary, no fee
• Township may inspect with 24 hours notice
• Credit is revoked if the report is late or the system is out of compliance; reinstating needs a new application
