Sewer & Water

Wrightstown is a rural Township which has no public water and sewer. All water service is provided by individual wells while sewer effluent is handled by on-site septic, sand mound or spray irrigation systems. Matthew Ridge and Jane Chapman East are serviced by sewer package plants, operated by the Township. Residents in this area pay a quarterly fee for operation and maintenance of these plants.

Please note that property owners cannot be changed on the bills without receipt of an updated deed and below sewer disclosure.  

Please help keep our sewer package plants operational with these tips!

Sewer Plants (especially smaller plants like Matthew Ridge and Jane Chapman East) can be affected by a leaking toilet, illegal hookups from sump pumps etc.  These issues can lead to costly maintenance issues that will affect the costs of the quarterly fees. 

Here are some tips to prevent these issues:

  • Never pour grease or oil down a drain
  • Avoid flushing non-flushable items. Most paper towels, reusable wipes, and feminine hygiene products can accumulate along the sewer line path, creating clogs that can back up a sewage system.
  • Never connect roof drains, downspouts or sump pumps to the sewer drainpipes.
  • Please fix any plumbing leaks.
