Public Hearing on Water Treatment Plant Upgrades in Moorestown Monday Night

A public hearing and final reading on an ordinance that calls for the complete rehabilitation of the water treatment plant on Kings Highway, reconstruction of the Hartford Road Water Treatment Plant and treatment at the plant on North Church Street takes place Monday night.

Moorestown Council meets at 7:30 p.m. at town hall, preceded by the workshop meeting at 7:30 p.m.

The ordinance calls for the appropriation of $710,000 and the borrowing of $675.600 to be used for preliminary engineer and design expenses.

Two water wells were closed at the North Church Street Plant last October, but one was reactivated last month. The other will be the subject of a pilot program for possibly the next two years after members of the public voiced concerns about the discovery of high levels of the unregulated contaminant Trichloropropane (TCP 1,2,3) in the water.

A public hearing and final reading will also be held on an ordinance that sets aside $725,000 and authorizes the borrowing of $502,550 for the milling and paving of Pleasant Valley Avenue.

An ordinance calling for Sustainable Moorestown’s Green Team to be granted status as a permanent advisory committee, as opposed to a sub-committee of the township’s Environmental Advisory Committee, will be introduced.

There are three items on the consent agenda, including the awarding of a $475,979.60 contract to All Surface Asphalt Paving, Inc. for improvements at Memorial Field.
