Happy Spring! No matter if you are a person who believes that Spring started on March 1 or if you feel that the Vernal Equinox on March 20 is the true beginning of the new season, springtime is here at last!
As temperatures continue to climb, we will see more and more businesses throughout town opening their doors, neighbors readying their homes for outdoor living, and other familiar signs that indicate that summer is not far away. Each year, springtime brings with it such promise, and I am confident that we all have a lot to look forward to during the year ahead here in Sea Isle City.

The March 14 City Council meeting was brief, due to a short agenda. At the start of the meeting, the City’s Administration updated Council on the beach erosion that occurred during recent storms in Sea Isle’s south-end, and it was explained that the Public Works Department will be harvesting sand from other beaches to help rebuild areas that lost sand.
Also during the March 14 meeting, Ordinance 1692 was adopted following Second Reading and Public Hearing. This ordinance increases the fees for the Division of Recreation’s Summer Youth Basketball League, raising the fee by $15 per participant, which will help cover the increasing cost of supplies.

HYDRANT FLUSHING
Please Be Aware of Regular Water Department Maintenance in April and May
During the months of April and May, the Sea Isle City Water Department will be flushing-out the water distribution system through the fire hydrants and exercise water valves throughout town. Semi-annual hydrant flushing is required to ensure that hydrants and the water distribution systems are functioning properly and can provide the proper drinking water quality (thus providing adequate water flow when needed). This is also a requirement for the Water Quality Accountability Act. If a hydrant is being flushed near your home or business, we encourage you to 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: dteefyjr@seaislecitynj.us.
