Mayor: Stockton to join Hunterdon Electric Cooperative mailings; council updates water repairs and stormwater mapping grant
Summary
Mayor Lipsen said Stockton has signed with the Hunterdon Electric Cooperative and that mailings will enroll residents in a lower-cost program (opt-out available). Council reported a completed water-line replacement, a scheduled Oct. 20 repair requiring temporary shutoffs, and MS4 stormwater mapping funded by a grant.
Mayor Aaron Lipsen told Stockton Borough Council on Sept. 15 that the borough has enrolled with the Hunterdon Electric Cooperative and that the borough and Concord Energy will mail enrollment information to residents; participation is by enrollment with an opt-out option for those who prefer not to participate. Lipsen said a lower-cost program will be the default mailing and a green-energy option will be available though it may provide less savings.
On infrastructure, the borough reported a completed complicated water-line replacement near the school and St. Agnes Church that required abandoning the old line and pulling a new line under the street. Councilperson Brown said there will be a scheduled water repair on Oct. 20 that will require residents south of 10 South Main Street to conserve water and accept temporary shutoffs; the borough will mail notices and urged residents to register for the Reverse 911 system. The council also reported progress on MS4 stormwater compliance: GPS mapping of stormwater infrastructure is underway and funded by a grant.
Other announcements included ongoing school-preservation planning with an architect and consultants, an NJDOT survey of the Bridge Street canal bridge noting deterioration, and the borough’s promotion of a Delaware River cleanup on Sept. 20 and a "Tie the Town Pink" breast-cancer awareness event.
