THE HISTORY OF THE NEWARK SEWER SYSTEM*

Brick Sewer Rehabilitation Project
Popular Document: The History of the Newark Sewer System
Dear Susan Ditmire:
Your organization has been identified by the New Jersey Historic Preservation
Office (NJHPO) as a recipient of the enclosed public document, The History of
the Newark Sewer System. This document was prepared at the direction of the
NJHPO by Richard Grubb & Associates, a cultural resources consulting firm,
on behalf of the City of Newark. It is the end result of an archaeological,
architectural and historical investigation prepared in advance of the proposed
rehabilitation of the City of Newark's nineteenth century brick sewer
system.
The National Historic Preservation Act requires sponsors of publicly funded
projects to consider the effects of their project on potentially significant
historic resources. It was concluded that the Newark Sewer System is
historically and technologically significant and therefore eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places. Because the proposed
rehabilitation would have an adverse effect to the historic sewer system, one of
the project conditions to mitigate the adverse effect included the production
and distribution of The History of the Newark System.
I hope you will find the document of interest and include it with your
collection.
Yours very truly,
Glenn R. Modica
Senior Historian
