Hopewell Borough will host a special town hall meeting on Thursday July 31 at 7 p.m. as part of the borough’s ongoing public outreach in advance of the public referendum on the proposed sale of the borough water system, scheduled for Nov. 4.
Those interested can attend in person at Borough Hall, watch a live broadcast via Zoom or watch the recorded meeting later if they cannot attend that night.
Topics will include:
– Critical water system infrastructure needs and projected future operating and debt-service costs
– Impacts of keeping or selling the system on your water rates and municipal taxes
– Relationship of the proposed sale to the overall fiscal health of the borough
Representatives from the proposed purchaser, New Jersey American Water, will also make a presentation and be available to answer questions.
Hopewell Borough’s website has additional information about the water system and the proposed referendum.
