Frequently Asked Questions

How do I contact the municipal engineer?

Initial contact with Little Egg Harbor Township concerning most engineering issues such as drainage complaints, for example, should be made through the Township Administrator's Office. The Township Administrator will take your report, open a file if necessary, and refer the matter to the municipal engineer. In many cases the Township Administrator may be able to answer your questions or provide you information that is responsive to your inquiry without having to refer you to the municipal engineer. In order for the Finance Department to monitor engineering costs you should not contact Engineering directly unless a file has been opened by the Township Administrator and you have been advised to contact the municipal engineer directly.

Is the municipal engineer responsible for Planning Board or Zoning Board of Adjustment matters?

Generally speaking, the municipal engineer is not responsible for Planning Board or Zoning Board of Adjustment matters. Each board retains its own engineering consultant. For instructions how to contact board engineers please visit the particular board's web pages.

I want to request that my street be paved.

You should contact the Township Administrator's Office to discuss requests for street paving. A limited amount of funding is available each year for paving. Therefore, the annual road overlay program is determined based on a priority point system. A team comprised of the Township Administrator, Public Works Superintendent, Director of Community Development & Planning and the municipal engineer continually monitors road conditions and prioritizes drainage and overlay needs for the Township Committee.
