PROJECT UPDATES
|
In accordance with our typical practice, now that the summer season is here, we try to limit the amount of construction taking place on public property, in order to minimize the disruption to our residents and visitors, as for many, this time of the year is precious. We also are in the process of preparing and putting into place plans for the next round of capital improvements throughout the City. As these projects move forward through the design, bidding, and construction phases, we will continue to provide you with updates on their progress.

WATCH OUT FOR TURTLES

It's Nesting Season
Diamondback Terrapin Turtles are currently in their Nesting Season (mid-May to mid-July) - so please be on the look-out for female Terrapins crossing our busy roads as they search for nesting spots.
What You Can Do To Help Our Terrapin Friends...
If you see a turtle nesting on your property, keep your distance and give her plenty of room to work. Then, if you would like Sea Isle Terrapin Rescue to place an "Anti-Predator" cage over the nest, please call 263-7358.
If you feel comfortable helping a turtle cross the road, please remember to carry her in the same direction she was traveling. Most importantly, always remember "Safety First" and use caution whenever you cross a street.
If you see an injured turtle, please call Sea Isle Terrapin Rescue (263-7358) or the Wetlands Institute (609-368-1211) and tell them what you saw.

FLOOD MITIGATION PLAN

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>>
