Why is a Stormwater Utility Fee Necessary?
The Township evaluated its stormwater program needs by considering the importance of stormwater management, desired level of service, asset conditions, known issues, planned improvements, and regulatory requirements to project future costs. These costs, along with ongoing administrative and operational expenses, were allocated across the Township’s estimated impervious area to establish the Stormwater Utility Fee.

Bird of the Month
May 2026 - The Prothonotary Warbler
- 💛 A flash of gold in the forest – Often called the “Golden Swamp Warbler,” males are brilliantly yellow-orange with blue-gray wings, making them one of the most eye-catching birds in eastern wetlands.
- 🌿 A rare tree-cavity nester – Unlike most warblers, they nest in holes in trees (or nest boxes) near water—similar to bluebirds.
- 🌊 Swamp specialist – Look for them in wooded swamps, floodplains, and along slow-moving streams where standing water is common.
- 🎶 Loud, ringing song – Despite their small size, their clear, repeated “sweet-sweet-sweet” song carries far through the trees.
- 🐛 Insect hunters – They forage low over water, picking insects, spiders, and even small snails from leaves and bark.
- 🧭 Long-distance travelers – These birds migrate from the eastern U.S. to Central and northern South America each year.
- 🪺 Conservation note – They benefit greatly from nest box programs and the protection of wetland habitats.
