MAYOR'S MESSAGE
|
With only a few weeks to go until Labor Day - and while everyone continues to enjoy this year's beautiful weather - your City government is once again beginning to focus on capital projects that have been on hold since the spring. For example, we have major utility projects that we'll be undertaking this fall and winter, which will ensure that our water and sewer systems operate efficiently now and long into the future. One of those projects involves the refurbishing and repainting of our municipal water tower at 39th and Central, which dons our town's catch phrase "Smile, You're in Sea Isle City." It will be difficult to miss this project once it gets underway, because the entire tank will soon be covered in scaffolding. <<

CITY COUNCIL'S MESSAGE
|
During the August 15 City Council meeting, Business Administrator George Savastano reported on Sea Isle's city-wide Flood Mitigation Study. During Phase I of that project, all of the city's storm water structures and outfall systems will be mapped, and that information will be added to all existing data regarding recent piping system improvements. A complete final report of this study (with recommendations) will be available by the end of August 2018. That information will then be presented to the public with a plan to make the recommended improvements. Last year's Capital Plan included similar discussions and incorporated some funding for future pumping stations. <<READ MORE>>
