MAYOR'S MESSAGE
|
Earlier today, I was happy to attend AARP Chapter 710's monthly meeting in the Community Lodge, where
Cape May County Surrogate Susan Sheppard, Esq. spoke to audience members about the role a Surrogate Judge plays in the community. Judge Sheppard also shared a wealth of other information that the members of Chapter 710 will no doubt be able to put to good use. While we are on the topic of Chapter 710, I would like to acknowledge all the good work that the members of AARP perform in our community. <<READ MORE>>

| HYDRANT FLUSHING |
Regular Maintenance Ensures Reliability
During the months of April and May, Sea Isle City's Water Department will flush-out the water distribution system through fire hydrants throughout town. Semi-annual hydrant flushing is required toensure that hydrantsand the water distribution systems are functioning properly and can provide the proper drinking water quality (thus providing adequate water flow when needed).
If a hydrant is being flushed near your home or business, we encourage youto avoid using washing machines, dishwashers or other water using devices during flushing operations
.
Residents can expect very little disruption in their water service - if any. However, low water pressure and possible water discoloration may occur. In the event of discoloration, simply allow water to run from the tap for a short while until clear. These conditions are not harmful and are usually short term. For additional info, phone 609-263-6000 (ext. 11) or email:
