Getting to know Elizabeth
Elizabeth was founded in 1664 as Elizabethtown, the first permanent English settlement in New Jersey. Elizabethtown later served as New Jersey's first capital. Liberty Water Company runs the city's water system. Billing, pressure and water quality questions go to Liberty Water.
New Jersey requires lead service lines to be replaced statewide. Ask a plumber to point out any lead or galvanized line they find. Two-family houses are common in many older neighborhoods. Shared systems mean a problem in one unit can affect the other. Many older homes heat with boilers feeding radiators. A tune-up before the heating season can catch problems early.
Nor'easters and tropical storms can bring flooding to low-lying areas near the bay. Sump pumps and backwater valves are worth checking before storm season. Freezing nights in winter can crack exposed pipes and outdoor spigots. Draining outdoor spigots in the fall prevents most of that damage.
Local utilities and rules
The city's water system is run by Liberty Water Company, operated by New Jersey American Water. Wastewater goes to the Joint Meeting of Essex and Union Counties. PSE&G supplies electricity, and natural gas comes from Elizabethtown Gas. Building permits are handled by the Elizabeth Construction Office.
Questions about Elizabeth
Who supplies water in Elizabeth?
The city's water system is run by Liberty Water Company, operated by New Jersey American Water. Billing and water quality questions go to them. For leaks inside your home, a plumber is the right call.
Who do I call about a power outage or gas smell?
Electricity comes from PSE&G and natural gas from Elizabethtown Gas. Report outages to the utility. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do repairs in Elizabeth need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by the Elizabeth Construction Office, and the pro doing the work usually pulls them.
Does VendorReach do the work?
No. We are a referral service. We connect you with an independent local company, and they quote, schedule and complete the job.
Can I use this if I rent?
Yes, but many repairs are the landlord's responsibility. Tell your landlord in writing, and check with them before booking work on the building.
If you are not sure which trade fits your problem, call anyway and describe it. We will tell you if it sounds like a job for someone else.
