📰 News we're reading

• Belleville Issues Drinking Water Advisory For Local Residents (patch.com) — Belleville officials have issued a drinking water advisory after missing some required monitoring checks for pH and orthophosphate between 2024 and 2025, though they stress it is not an emergency. Residents don't need to take immediate action, but people with compromised immune systems, infants, pregnant individuals, and seniors are urged to consult their doctors about drinking the water. The township says it has corrected scheduling issues and will follow the required testing timetable this year, and residents can call the Belleville Water Department with questions.
   

• NJ News Update - September 28, 2026 (onnj.com) — Belleville residents can look forward to Just Jersey's Food Truck Festival and Car Show at the high school this Saturday from 2 to 9 p.m., featuring a petting zoo, DJ, and fireworks.
