I was just at Star Bucks this morning (Monday), and someone there said that MATAWAN was also supposed to boil their water. Something about flooding at Ravine Drive. I didn't see anything on the Borough web site or in the news. Can anyone verify this?
ReplyDeleteHave you been down to the beach yet? Wow! Half of it has moved! The dune held up though, and probably saved the rest of the beach! Thank God they decided to restore it twenty odd years ago. I believe Rutger's was giving advice at one time about its maintenance. I wonder, should we get them to come and look at the beach ? There's been an awful lot of destruction, God help us if another storm comes this season!
ReplyDeleteI know the warning stated 3/14-3/16, but the automated phone message indicated that residents would receive a call informing them of when the water is safe to drink. Is the water safe for consumption today 3/17?
ReplyDeleteThe township did its testing and found the water safe to drink, so the warning has been lifted. I received an automated call from the Water Department announcing the lifting of the warning today.
