Reminder that you are invited to a special town hall meeting tonight, Thursday July 31, 2025 at 7:00 PM as part of our ongoing public outreach in advance of the November 4, 2025 public referendum on the proposed sale of our water system. The meeting will be in person at Borough Hall, broadcast via zoom and recorded for those who cannot attend this evening.
Please note that the Borough is monitoring the potential for severe weather this evening and encourages members of the public to consider attending via zoom should conditions be hazardous. Copies of the presentations and video of the meeting will be posted to the Borough website and YouTube channel shortly after the meeting.
Topics for tonight will include:
- Critical water system infrastructure needs and projected future operating and debt-service costs.
- Impacts of keeping or selling the system on your water rates and municipal taxes.
