Public sewer covers the developed corridor between Routes 611 and 413, including most village centers. Point Pleasant and the rural roads across much of the township rely on on-lot systems, and those homes are part of the township's pumping program. New sewer capacity (EDUs) is limited, so check your bill if you're unsure which you have.

Plumstead's Sewage Management Program

Under Ordinance No. 2021-05:

• Every on-lot system must be pumped at least once every three years.
• The clock starts when the Bucks County Health Department approves the system. The program began in January 2023, so many homes are on their first or second cycle.
• You choose the pumper, but they must be registered with Plumstead Township. Ask whether they're registered before you book.
• The pumper completes a report, and you send it to the township within 30 days.
• If the pumper sees signs of a malfunction, the township is notified and will point you to the Health Department.

Sewer or Septic in Plumstead?

Village centers such as Plumsteadville, Danboro, Gardenville and the Plumstead side of Pipersville sit inside the township's designated sewer area, though individual homes may still be on septic. Point Pleasant is the one village outside it. Because sewer EDUs are limited (township EDU info), homeowners outside the sewer area should plan to keep their septic system in good shape rather than expect a hookup.
