Why New Jersey prices differ

Statewide cost drivers here are freeze depth, bedrock and older housing stock. Locally, strict septic rules in many counties require engineered designs. That is why a aerobic / atu system in New Jersey can land well above or below the national range of $8,000โ€“$18,000.
