Meet a Member of Your Township: Kim Wolverton 🌟
If you’ve ever called about a missed trash pickup, a pothole, or had questions about parks or recycling, chances are, you’ve spoken to Kim Wolverton.
As the Administrative Assistant for the Public Works Department, Kim is the friendly voice on the other end of the phone and the first face you see when you visit the office. She’s been helping Bordentown Township residents for nearly 21 years, and she’s often the one making sure your concerns are heard and addressed.
Outside of work, Kim loves soaking up summer pool days with her husband Chuck and their two German Shepherds, Gunner and Mila. You might also find her out at a gift auction with friends, enjoying some well-deserved fun.
Say hi the next time you call Public Works -- you’ll be glad you did. 😊

Flooding can happen fast — and sometimes with little warning.
Even if you’re not in a high-risk area, heavy rain or sudden storms can overwhelm drains and cause dangerous conditions. The good news? A little preparation now can make a big difference later.
Here are 4 ways to get ready before the next storm hits:
1️⃣ Know your risk. Check if your area has a history of flooding and make sure you’re familiar with local evacuation routes. Stay tuned to weather alerts when rain is in the forecast.
2️⃣ Protect your property. Clean out gutters and storm drains, bring in anything outdoors that could float or blow away, and move valuables out of basements. If you’re able, elevate electrical equipment off the ground.
3️⃣ Make a go-bag. Keep key items ready in case you need to leave quickly — like documents, medications, a flashlight, a phone charger, snacks, water, and pet supplies.
4️⃣ Don’t risk it. Floodwater is more dangerous than it looks. Just 6 inches can knock you down, and 12 inches can sweep away a car. Never drive or walk through flooded roads — Turn Around, Don’t Drown.
Take a few minutes now to get storm-ready. Your future self will thank you.
