E-NEWSLETTER
From the City of Sea Isle City
September 18, 2025
| | |
The 2025 autumn season is off to a great start here in Sea Isle City! Aside from a little rain, we have had some amazing weather since Labor Day – which is very good news for the events that have taken place in recent weeks, including our annual Patriot Day Ceremony on September 11 at Veterans Park, where we gathered to remember the thousands of lives lost during the 9-11 terrorist attacks. I want to thank everyone who attended that ceremony – especially 9-11 survivor, ground zero worker and organizer of The 9-11 Project, John Kostick, who was kind enough to step to the microphone and share a few words with the audience, even though he lost most of his voice after being exposed to the dangerous conditions at ground zero.

HYDRANT FLUSHING
Upcoming Flushing of Fire Hydrants
in October
During the months of October and November, the Sea Isle City Water Department will flush-out the water distribution system through the city’s fire hydrants and exercising 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. 3011) or email: dteefyjr@seaislecitynj.us.
