Due to the ongoing high heat and drought conditions, the City of Bordentown Water Department is experiencing significantly increased water demand. Consequently, some residents may notice a decrease in their usual water pressure.
Check out these 10 simple steps to conserve water! 💧
ADVISORY: Due to unforeseen circumstances, the shuttle service is cancelled this weekend. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
ADVISORY: The street sweeper will not be operating today, Fri, July 19, due to staffing shortages. As a result, parking restrictions will not be enforced. Happy Friday!
REMINDER: Tonight — Mon, July 15 — is the monthly meeting of the Board of Commissioners, which was rescheduled due to the holiday weekend. The meeting will take place at 7 pm at Carslake Community Center and is also available via Zoom at the link below.
On tap this month are several new policy proposals that the City is eager to gather public feedback on. Chief among them are:
🗳️ A non-binding referendum that would place a question on the ballot this November asking voters to decide if they would like to move the City’s May municipal election to November, when turnout is historically much higher, while remaining nonpartisan.
🌳 A binding referendum that would place an additional question on the ballot this November asking voters if they would support the creation of an Open Space Tax ranging from .01 - .04 cents annually (per every $100 of assessed home value), which would be dedicated specifically to funding citywide recreation improvements, park maintenance and upgrades, and historic preservation projects, as prescribed by state law.
