DRUNK DRIVING ENFORCEMENT CRACKDOWN TO BE

CONDUCTED LOCALLY AS PART OF STATEWIDE CAMPAIGN

 

Law Enforcement officers from Englishtown will be cracking down on drunk drivers as part of the summer 2010 "Over the Limit, Under Arrest" campaign.  Beginning August 20th through September 6th, local and state law enforcement officers will be conducting sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols, looking for motorists who may be driving while intoxicated.

 

"One life lost is one too many"

"Through public education and law enforcement efforts, we will continue our commitment to protecting all New Jersey motorists from the senseless tragedies associated with drunk driving"

                                                        ..... Pam Fischer, Director of the Division of Highway Traffic Safety

 

 

 

PLEASE CONSERVE WATER

 

While the Borough currently has enough water supply to satisfy demands, we urge you to focus on water conservation as water demands are greatly increased during hot/dry summer months.

 

Please remember, during summer months odd/even watering schedules are in effect.  If your home address is an even number, you can schedule irrigate on even-numbered dates and odd home addresses on odd-numbered dates.  Lawn irrigation increases overall water usage by 50% in Englishtown so wise water use is essential during this time of year to ensure public health and safety.

 

Suggested other useful outdoor water saving tips:

• Use a broom, not a hose, to clear debris from sidewalks

• Set your lawn mower one notch higher.  Longer grass allows less evaporation

• Sprinkle the lawn, not the pavement

• Water the lawn only when needed.  To reduce evaporation, water in the cool morning hours and don't water on windy days

• Make sure your hose has a shut-off nozzle.

• Cover your pool to reduce evaporation

• Wash your car with soap and water from a bucket
