MAYOR'S MESSAGE

I begin this week’s message with words of thanks for the individuals who attended this year’s Vietnam War Veterans Day Ceremony at Veterans Park on March 29 – especially each of the veterans who were with us that day. It is an esteem privilege for me to host that important ceremony each year and to help honor the men and women who served in the United States military during such a long and challenging war. As I indicated on Saturday, our Vietnam veterans are true patriots who deserve our respect; and I hope everyone reading this message will make it a point to show kindness and gratitude to all of our nation’s veterans.

CITY COUNCIL'S MESSAGE

Prior to the start of the March 25 City Council meeting, Council held a Closed Executive Session (approved by Resolution 055) to discuss the city’s ongoing labor negotiations with the Communication Workers of America (CWA).

At the start of the March 25 meeting, Ordinance 1724 was Introduced with First Reading. This ordinance is a routine annual ordinance that is written in conjunction with Sea Isle City’s Municipal Budget to allow the city to "bank" (or preserve) for future years any appropriation limits not utilized. This allows the city to more effectively manage our budgets over several years. Ordinance 1724 will have Second Reading and Public Hearing (and possible Adoption) on April 22.

HYDRANT FLUSHING

Maintenance of Our Water System

Ensures Reliability

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 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. 11) or email: dteefyjr@seaislecitynj.us.
