Townhall meetings - water system sale 2024

Ballot Referendum on Water Sale System
South Orange Village has scheduled three town hall meetings to discuss the potential sale of the water system to New Jersey American Water (NJAW). These meetings are part of a broader outreach plan aimed at informing and engaging the community before the issue appears on the November ballot.
“Our goal is to provide as much information as possible to South Orange residents regarding the potential sale of the water system to NJAW,” said Mayor Sheena Collum. “These three town halls are an important part of our outreach plan as they will allow residents to ask their questions directly to elected officials, staff members, and representatives from NJAW.”
The town hall meetings will be held on the following dates:

  • Wednesday, September 25, 7 p.m. – Virtual
  • Wednesday, October 9, 7 p.m. – In-person, Baird Community Center, 5 Mead St, 3rd Floor

Links to attend the virtual meetings will be posted on the Village website calendar. All meetings will be recorded and available on the website.
