New Water Filtration System – We are happy to inform our residents that the NJDEP has approved the Borough’s permit for our new water filtration system designed to remove the PFOA and PFNA contaminates from our water system.  This is a major step in the process as our formal plans await final review and funding from the state.  We estimate this will happen in the next 60 to 90 days, since we are “ready to go” they will once again prioritize our applications.  We will then go out to bid for the project by the summer.  Subject to supply chain issues, it remains a possibility to meet our goal of having this project finished in this calendar year.  Please be aware that we are required by law to send out quarterly notices of violation until this project is completed.

Quality of Life Reminders –

• Please curb your dogs, pick up after them and keep them off private property.  As the nicer weather arrives, we are receiving more complaints about this than ever before.
• Encourage everyone in your family to use the downtown garbage cans to keep our business district looking clean.
• Remind everyone to keep your cars locked and remove the keys.  Right now, car theft due to keys being left in vehicles is at a record high in Northern Bergen County.
• Finally, we would like to remind everyone to observe local traffic laws and speed limits as many of our residents have expressed their concern about speeding in their neighborhoods.  We are finding that quite often the offenders are their very own neighbors, our residents who are violating the rules.  Please observe posted speeds, yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and please use Bluetooth or other hands-free devices when using your phone while driving.
