TOWNSHIP OFFERING NON-DRINKING WATER AT THE POOL

While NJ American Water is giving drinking water away, the township is giving non-drinking water away as per this e-mail:


NON-DRINKABLE water is available at the Maplewood Pool today (8/29) from Noon to 7:45PM. Residents can bring their own buckets or other containers to the Maplewood Pool Parking Lot (187 Boyden Avenue) and fill them with non-drinkable water. This water can be used to flush toilets and allow residents to use their drinkable water for other purposes such as cooking and brushing their teeth. The non-drinkable water comes from a township well used to supply water to fill the pool.


Don't mix them up!!

HURRICANE IRENE IMAGES

We took a look around Maplewood on Sunday and found a few signs of the Irene impact.

The underground train station tunnel was a small lake.

Found this house on Bowdoin Street and many neighbors helping to clear the fallen tree.

They also promised a water truck later to refill.
