Water Main Replacement Check Valve Impacts
Summary
Homeowners on King Road and Cedar Brook Drive say new check valves turned their plumbing into closed systems, causing water heaters to leak and forcing repairs costing hundreds to thousands of dollars. The township manager admitted notification was posted on the website instead of mailed flyers and said it's now corrected; a review including possible remediation is underway.
