The City of Bordentown Water Department will be conducting routine hydrant flushing from April 8th to April 17th.
This essential maintenance helps remove sediment, maintain water quality, and ensure hydrants are ready for fire protection. During this time, you may notice temporary discoloration or slight pressure changes in your water—this is normal and will clear up by running cold water for a few minutes. Rest assured, your water remains safe to drink!
Thank you for your understanding as we work to keep our water system clean and reliable.
Happy St. Patrick's Day from the City of Bordentown!
Wishing all of our residents a day of luck, celebration, joy, and community spirit. Stay safe, enjoy the festivities, and don't forget to wear your green!

Lunar New Year is a traditional celebration marking the beginning of the New Year based on the lunar calendar, which follows the cycle of the moon.

We're encouraged to see the growth of electric vehicles in Bordentown City and are working on updating our local ordinances to help accommodate EV owners. However, in the interest of public safety, our current laws prohibit extension cords or wires of any kind in the public right-of-way, which can create a dangerous tripping hazard. In order to avoid incurring future fines, we encourage EV owners to use a cable protector ramp/speed bump or take advantage of the public EV charging stations located at Point Breeze, next to the gym near the City Administration Building.
Today, we smile together, Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. day!
With snow season here, we want to remind everyone about our snow removal ordinances to ensure our streets and sidewalks stay safe and accessible for all:
Sidewalks: The owners, tenants or occupants of any premises abutting any street, or any person working for or on behalf of any owner, tenant or occupant, shall remove all snow and ice from the entire length of the sidewalk within 24 hours after any snowfall or accumulation of ice occurs.
Street Parking: Avoid parking on designated snow emergency routes or streets during plowing. This helps our crews work efficiently and keeps roads safer.
Don't Block Fire Hydrants: Ensure fire hydrants near your property are kept visible and accessible for emergencies.
Casting of Snow and Ice: No person, including any property owner, shall place, deposit, or allow, or cause to place, snow or ice upon any street, road, sidewalk or municipal right-of-way nor, without the owner's permission, upon the lands of any property near, adjoining or across the street from the property from which the snow and ice has been removed. No such person shall place such snow or ice in a manner that will obstruct or impede vehicular or pedestrian traffic or block access to any street, road, sidewalk or driveway. No person shall place any snow or ice upon or near any fire hydrant. In the event that the plowing of snow or ice in a driveway cannot reasonably be accomplished without moving some snow or ice onto a street, road or right-of-way, such snow or ice shall be immediately plowed back onto the property from which it was removed.
Removal by City Authorized; Payment of Costs:
A. In the event of a violation of this article, the City may undertake the removal of all snow and ice from any sidewalk on a City street.
B. In such event, the cost of such removal shall be certified to the City Commission by the Superintendent of Public Works in the Department of Public Works. The Commission shall examine such costs to be billed to the owner of such abutting premises on which snow or ice removal work has been performed by the City. If the cost is not promptly paid by the owner within 15 days, the charge shall be charged against such premises and be added to and be part of the taxes next to be levied and collected, with interest, by the same officers and in the same manner as other taxes.
C. The provisions of this section shall not relieve any owner, tenant or occupant of the penalty provided in § 240-33.
Violations and Penalties: Any such owner or occupant or other person having care of any such property as aforesaid shall be fined a sum of not less than $50 and not more than $250, besides costs of conviction, and a like amount for each and every day that the snow shall remain on such sidewalk after the 24 hours.
We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our community safe and accessible during winter weather!
