City of Bordentown Municipal Complex
101 E. Park Street — Main Lobby
The City Hall staff will be bringing all collected supplies to the shelter on Monday, December 15th!
Did You Know?
Each year, roughly 6.5 million animals enter shelters across the United States — but thanks to caring communities like ours, over half are adopted into loving homes! ❤️
Let’s make sure every tail has a reason to wag this season! 🐾

The City of Bordentown Water Department is advising residents of a water main break on Edgewood Road. Repairs are scheduled to take place today. Residents in the affected area may experience low water pressure or a temporary loss of service while work is underway.
Repairs are expected to be completed within approximately eight hours once work begins. After water service is restored, residents should run their water until it runs clear.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as the Water Department completes these repairs.

Bring your clean, gently used, or new reusable bags to Farmers Against Hunger. They’ll be used by for a Thanksgiving Packing event, where volunteers pack fresh, locally grown produce to provide Thanksgiving meals for New Jersey families in need.
📅 Drop off by November 21
📍 173 Creek Road, Delran, NJ
A small donation goes a long way!
Did you know that over 1 billion pounds of pumpkins in the U.S. end up in landfills each fall — that’s more than 80% of what’s bought for Halloween! Instead of letting yours rot with the rest, bring it to Bordentown’s Pumpkin Drive and help give it a second life.
📅 When: November 1 – 30
📍 Drop-Off Locations:
209 Crosswicks Street (next to Gilder Field) – Bordentown City
266 Crosswicks Road – Bordentown Township
🛑 Please drop off only clean, undecorated pumpkins — no paint, candles, glitter, or wax.
🌱 Your pumpkins will be composted or repurposed locally, keeping them out of the landfill and putting nutrients back into the earth.
Together, we can keep our community clean, green, and thriving — one pumpkin at a time! 💚
Join us for an evening full of fun with your family, friends, and community!
🕔 5–7 PM: Enjoy face painting, live music, food vendors, sweet treats, a special guest appearance, and activities for the kids!
🎥 7 PM: Showtime! Get comfy, grab a snack, and enjoy Beetlejuice on the big screen.

Please be advised that the City of Bordentown Municipal Office will be closed on Monday, October 13th in observance of Columbus Day.

The Water Department will begin its Fall Hydrant Flushing Program tomorrow throughout the City and Township.
💡 Tips to help during flushing:
-If your water looks discolored, run the cold tap for a few minutes until it clears.
-Try to avoid using hot water until the discoloration goes away, so sediment doesn’t enter your water heater.
-If possible, plan household tasks like laundry, dishwashing, or bathing around the posted flushing schedule.
✅ Flushing helps maintain water quality, removes sediment, and ensures hydrants are ready for fire protection.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation!!
