A quick heads up, Bordentown, hydrant flushing is kicking off this week in the Township. The City of Bordentown Water Department will begin flushing in Bordentown Township first TOMORROW, Tuesday, April 7 through Thursday, April 9 from 7AM to 5PM.
Bordentown City will follow the next week, April 14 through April 16 during the same hours.
It’s one of those routine things you might not think about, but it helps keep our water clean, clear, and running the way it should.
While it’s happening, you might notice lower pressure or some rusty looking water. Totally temporary, but here are a few easy ways to avoid any issues:
• Skip laundry and dishwashers during flushing hours
• Bypass water filters or RO systems for now
• Turn off automatic ice makers
• Hold off on using tap water for saltwater fish tanks
• After flushing, run cold water from your tub or laundry sink until it clears
Thanks for your patience while this gets done. It’s all part of keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.
Happy Easter, Bordentown!
Here’s to a day full of egg hunts, bunny sightings, and just enough sugar to keep things interesting.
Good company, a little chaos, and the kind of moments you actually remember—that’s what today’s about.
Wishing you a peaceful and meaningful Easter.
Doing a little spring cleaning in the yard?
Keeping leaves separate from brush helps our crews keep things moving and protects the equipment used for pickup. When mixed into brush piles, leaves can clog and damage the wood chipper, which can slow things down.
Not sure what to do with those leftover leaves? You’ve got a few easy options:
• Bring them to Public Works (266 Crosswicks Rd) and place them in the leaf bin -- loose leaves only, please (no bags)
• Compost them (great for garden beds)
• Use them as natural mulch around trees and plants
A small step that helps everything run a little smoother. Thanks for working with us on this.
A little bunny update… our Easter Bunny just let us know he’s hopping over to a new spot (and time!) this year!
With upgrades still underway at Northern Community Park, it’s not quite ready for all the egg-hunting fun just yet—so the Bunny made a quick pivot.
Bordentown Township’s 11th Annual Easter Egg Hunt will now take place at JOSEPH LAWRENCE PARK at 10:30 AM—same fun, just a new field for all those eggs to land!
You know how busy this time of year gets, but he promises it’ll be just as festive, fun, and full of surprises.
When: Saturday, April 4th
Time: Both hunts start PROMPTLY at 10:30 AM!
Age Groups & Locations:
• Ages 2-3: Hunt for eggs in the grassy area nearest to the pavilion (parent must be present!)
• Ages 4-9: Hunt for eggs in the grassy area around the baseball field
Don’t forget:
• Bring your own basket or bag to collect candy-filled eggs!
• Keep an eye out for Golden Eggs hidden throughout the field! Find one and win a giant Easter basket filled with goodies (golden eggs must be returned to the registration table to claim your prize).
📍Location: Joseph Lawrence Park
316 Ward Avenue

It started with a vision… and a patch of ground.
Back on October 15, 2024, we gathered together for a groundbreaking that marked the beginning of something much bigger than a construction project. It was the result of years of planning, conversations, and a shared understanding that our Township had outgrown its space — and that our community deserved more.
This week, we proudly hung a plaque in our now-standing municipal building — a reminder of the day it all began. A simple piece, but one that holds so much meaning. It marks the day we officially turned the page and began building toward the future of Bordentown Township.
It also stands as a tribute to former Mayor Stephen Benowitz, whose leadership and dedication to this community helped bring this vision to life. His impact is part of this foundation — and always will be.
From that first shovel in the ground to the progress you see today, this project has always been about service, growth, and community.
And it’s happening, folks. Stay tuned for the next exciting phase — furniture is on the way, and we’ll be moving in soon!
Make your voice heard! ✨
Join us on Monday, 3/23 at 7:30pm at the Municipal Building (1 Municipal Drive) for the next Bordentown Township Committee Meeting.

It’s a chance to stay connected and be part of what’s happening here in Bordentown Township. Hope to see you there!
It’s that time again, Bordentown… chicken season! With spring around the corner, this is your annual reminder about the rules for keeping backyard chickens in Bordentown Township. Quick refresher: • 4-12 hens allowed depending on lot size (no roosters) • Slaughtering is prohibited • Coops must be enclosed and located in the backyard only • Chickens may roam for up to 2 hours per day (fenced area + supervision) • Property must be at least 10,000 sq ft If you already have chickens — or are planning to get some this season — your Township chicken license must be obtained by April 1st. More info here: https://www.bordentowntownship.com/o/bordentown/page/licenses Thinking about hens this year? We’re happy to help residents do it the right way.
Northern Community Park will be temporarily closed the week of March 23 while our crews finish up a few final improvements.
We know the park is a favorite spot for many in the community, and we truly appreciate your patience while this work is completed. Taking this short pause helps keep everyone safe and allows our team to wrap things up more quickly.
Thank you for your understanding — we can’t wait to have everyone back out enjoying the park soon!
