No such connections shall be required or permitted within the PR-1, PRC, PP, PA or PR-5 Districts, or within the Rural Development Area portion of the PI District, unless expressly permitted pursuant to Section 296-83B(2) of the Code.

To apply for sewer connection come to the Department of Municipal Utilities at the Dominic Maiese Municipal Complex at 125 South Route 73 Braddock, NJ 08037 and be prepared to pay a connection fee of $3135.00 and a $5.00 application fee. There is a payment plan available for residential properties if you are unable to pay the entire amount.

You are also required to complete an application for the Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority (CCMUA). These applications are available through CCMUA. After completing the application for connection for Winslow Township, you must take your copies (yellow and pink) with your payment receipt and your application for CCMUA to the Camden County Store Service Center in West Atco, (Cooper Folly Rd, across from Winslow Township Middle School) for additional processing.

When your application is reviewed and approved by CCMUA, you will receive notification via mail from CCMUA with instructions to apply for your permit at the Winslow Township Annex (Route 561 and Factory Road, Tansboro, NJ). When you receive your permit, your registered plumber may begin connection to our sewer main.

Quarterly billing for sewer will begin once connection is made by your plumber and the Township's plumbing inspector approves the connection.
