The Manasquan River Regional Sewerage Authority (MRRSA) was originally created in May of 1972 by parallel ordinances of the five (5) member municipalities of Farmingdale Borough, Freehold Borough, Freehold Township, Howell Township and Wall Township. The original purpose of the Authority was to provide for the regional conveyance and treatment of wastewater in the Manasquan River Basin and a portion of the Metedeconk Basin. Subsequent to the original creation of this Authority, it was determined by Federal and State officials that this Authority would become a collection and conveyance system only and transport its wastewater for treatment to the Ocean County Utilities Authority (OCUA).

The total area of coverage for this Authority is approximately 103-square miles and the Authority’s Services Area presently consists of approximately 100,000-residents, including numerous commercial and industrial establishments.
