• Township Engineering Department Prioritizes Sustainable Infrastructure (TAPinto.net) — Bloomfield officials are ramping up stormwater projects to reduce street flooding, adding more catch basins, storm drains, and even a rain garden in the Pitt Street municipal lot. The township engineer explains how aging infrastructure and more intense storms strain local drains, while Public Works targets known trouble spots before and after heavy rain to keep residents safer.
