The Raritan Township Stormwater Utility was created on Jul. 1, 2025 upon the adoption of Ordinance No. 25-22 following the unanimous consent of the Raritan Township Committee. This department is responsible for the implementation and oversight of all the functions associated with the Utility. These functions include:

• Establishing an annual budget;
• Issuing annual utility bills to property owners;
• Issuing credits to property owners for installing stormwater mitigation; and
• Performing the work required to improve and maintain the Township’s stormwater management system, including:
  • Inlet replacement and repairs;
  • Detention basin inspections and maintenance;
  • Leaf collection; and
  • Street sweeping.

While the Stormwater Utility has its own budget and separate source of funding, the staff of the Stormwater Utility Department consists of Township employees who also work in other departments:

• The Stormwater Utility Supervisor is also the Township’s Supervisor of Engineering and Information Technology;
• The Tax Collector’s office is responsible for issuing Stormwater Utility bills and for processing payments; and
• The Department of Public Works performs the field work associated with the stormwater management system.

Bills are sent annually. In 2025, property owners will receive a partial bill which will be sent in the fall. Starting in 2026, bills will be mailed the first quarter of every year.

Just like your property tax bill, you can pay your bill online, by mail or in person in the Tax Collector’s office.  

Please visit the Tax Collector's page for more information on how to pay your bill.
