Water Conservation Ordinance Up For Final Vote In Moorestown Monday Night

Moorestown, NJ -- Moorestown may have a new water conservation ordinance come Monday night.

Following several weeks of discussion, council will hold a public hearing and give final consideration to a new water conservation ordinance at its meeting Monday night at town hall, 7:30 p.m.

The ordinance, which the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) said needed to be changed when it issued its Administrative Consent Order (ACO) over the summer, proposes the creation of four districts to that match the districts used for trash collection. Watering would be permitted in the following districts on the following days:

• District 1: Sunday and Wednesday
• District 2: Monday and Thursday
• District 3: Monday and Thursday
• District 4: Tuesday and Friday

Watering will only be permitted 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and 8 p.m

The proposed ordinance was unanimously approved on introduction on Sept. 26.

Because there had been multiple changes made to the ordinance as a result of workshop discussions, Township Solicitor Anthony Drollas said he would inform NJDEP of the changes to make sure it approved.

It is the only ordinance up for a final vote on Monday night, and there are no ordinances scheduled for introduction.

There are 14 items on the consent agenda.

Council will also discuss parking on Main Street and economic development on Camden Avenue during the workshop portion of the meeting, which precedes the regular meeting at 7 p.m.
