As we head into winter, keep this section of the municipal code in mind:

§ 245-27. Responsibility to remove snow and ice.

1. The owner or owners, occupant or occupants, tenant or tenants of premises abutting or bordering upon any street in the Borough shall remove all snow and ice from the abutting sidewalks of such streets or, in the case of ice which may be so frozen as to make removal impracticable, shall cause the same to be thoroughly covered with sand, salt or other suitable materials within 12 hours of daylight after the same shall fall or be formed thereon.
2. In case the building is occupied by more than one family or business unit, then the tenant or occupant of the first floor or story thereof is hereby required to remove all snow and ice from such portion of the sidewalks or, in the case of ice which is impracticable to remove, cover the same with sand, salt or other suitable materials within 12 hours of daylight after the same shall be formed or fall thereon.

§ 245-28. Throwing or placing of snow or ice upon streets.

No person, firm or corporation not the owner, tenant or occupant of any premises abutting on any street shall throw, place or deposit any snow or ice into or upon any street in said Borough, it being the intent and purpose of this provision to prohibit all persons from throwing, casting, placing or depositing snow and ice, which accumulated within private property belonging to said person, upon the sidewalks or streets of the Borough.

§ 245-29. Violations and penalties.

Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine not to exceed $500 or to imprisonment in the county jail for a term not to exceed 90 days, in the discretion of the court, and each day’s continuance of the violation shall constitute a separate and distinct violation.

Please be advised that Borough Hall will close to the public at 5pm on Wednesday, November 27, 2024 due to the celebration of the Thanksgiving Holiday.  Please have a safe, happy holiday.  The Borough Hall will re-open for regular hours on Monday, December 2nd.

Today, November 13th, 2024, Governor Phil Murphy and Commissioner Shawn LaTourette announced that New Jersey has declared a Statewide Drought Warning. This measure was established via an Administrative Order signed by Commissioner Shawn LaTourette, which allows reservoir systems to preserve available supply, and for the Department to work with water systems to ensure functionality of interconnections, reduce water loss, and where appropriate, make transfers between various water sources. Though no customer water use restrictions are being established by the Department at this time, NJ is urging residents to conserve water; please use this water conservation tool kit to help spread awareness to your customers. Municipalities and/or water systems may impose stricter restrictions based on local conditions.

Water systems that are directly impacted by the Administrative Order will be contacted separately. The Department is continuously evaluating the conditions and will provide updates as they become available.
