TC APPROVES HIGHER SEWER FEE, NEW POOL FOOD

The Township Committee on Tuesday gave final approval to two items of note that had been discussed previously.

The first was final approval for the 2015 sewer fee, which will be $184, $9 higher than in past years. This is due to an $80,000 fee increase from the Joint Meeting of Essex and Union Counties, which operates the water treatment plant.

In another move, the TC also approved a resolution to award the pool food concession to a new, out-of-town vendor, RS Food Express of Roselle Park. They outbid Freeman's Fish Market, which had been operating the snack stand at the pool since 2012.

RS offered the highest bid at $22,500. See all the bids HERE.
