Electric Heat and Borough Water in Highland Park
Highland Park's water and sewer customers get their bills from the borough, but a contractor runs the system day to day. Since July 1, 2020, that has been Utility Services Affiliates-Highland Park, a Middlesex Water Company subsidiary, and the borough buys its drinking water from Middlesex Water as well. Treatment of the borough's sewage is handled regionally by the Middlesex County Utilities Authority.
Nearly one in four occupied homes heats with electricity, by Census estimates, and gas covers most of the rest. That heat may come from baseboard, an electric furnace or a heat pump. Of the three, only the heat pump also cools, and it usually needs less electricity than baseboard to deliver the same heat. Our crew does the wiring for any heat pump or AC unit we install, with no outside electrician. Close to half of homes predate 1960, so galvanized pipe may remain.
