MAYOR'S MESSAGE
|
|
Even though the mercury has been showing temperatures that we usually associate with mid-September rather than mid-October, it's perfectly clear that the autumn "shoulder season" is upon us - thanks to our City's ongoing line-up of events and activities. For example, on Saturday my family and I had the pleasure of hosting Sea Isle's 27th Annual Columbus Day Parade and Italian Festival, which brought out the "Italian" in everyone who attended. My thanks go to all of the parade's participants, including Press of Atlantic City Meteorologist Joseph Martucci, who served as this year's Grand Marshall; 2017 Italian-American Man of the Year Joe Avanzato, from Azzurra Pizzeria; and 2017 Italian Prince Stefano Libro and his twin sister Princess Mary Josephine Libro, who stole the show during the parade and at the festival! Thanks and congratulations also go to Brendan Haddon for retaining his title as "Primo Cannoli Eating Champion" during the Italian Festival's exciting Cannoli Eating Contest - way to go Brendan! <<

HYDRANT FLUSHING
|
Ensures Reliability
During the months of October and November, Sea Isle City's Water Department will flush-out the water distribution system through the fire hydrants throughout town. Semi-annual hydrant flushing is required toensure that hydrantsand the water distribution systems are functioning properly and can provide the proper drinking water quality (thus providing adequate water flow when needed).If a hydrant is being flushed near your home or business, we encourage youto 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:

FLOOD MITIGATION
|
|
City-Wide Flood Study
A major priority of the Sea Isle City government is addressing the flooding which impacts our City and is most prevalent in low lying areas. Over the past several years, the City has implemented several drainage improvement projects to replace deteriorated storm drainage systems and tidal check valves; and we're coordinating with the county engineer's office on several projects, as much of our drainage system falls under county jurisdiction. <<READ MORE>>
