The City of Bayonne services a population of 70,000 and encompasses approximately 5.80 square miles. The City’s sanitary sewer system consists of:
- 94.4 miles of gravity sanitary sewer mains (various sizes).
- 11.2 miles of pressurized sewer force main.
- Thirteen (13) pump stations, including the Oak Street Pumping Station and related facilities.
The existing sewer pipes at Avenue F and East 24th Street are experiencing major failures and collapses due to pipe age, degradation, and increased sewer flows resulting from new developments. The overall goal of the Sewer System Upgrades Project is to significantly improve the sewer system network and prevent service disruptions to Bayonne residents in the area of Avenue F between Mechanic Street and East 24th Street.
