Borough Engineer Thomas Thornton March 24 reported to Avalon Borough Council that shoals in parts of Princeton Harbor created a need for an emergency dredging project.

Middle Township Committee March 1 introduced a new sewer and water utility bond ordinance in the amount of $2.7 million.

The replacement or upgrade of over 6,500 Avalon water meters is moving to a bid process tentatively scheduled for April.

“What did we miss?” Those words expressed Middle Township Deputy Mayor Theron "Ike" Gandy’s amazement that the lowest bid for the reconstruction of four sanitary pump stations was more than double the engineer’s estimate.

Cape May City Council heard a report March 3 from the city’s engineering firm, Mott MacDonald, concerning the city water master plan.

Cape May has a history of innovation in the way it provides a supply of safe, economic water to its residents. Twenty years ago, the city implemented cutting-edge technology in a first-of-its-kind desalination plant, the only such plant in the Northeast at the time.
