Weekend Update
Dear Resident,
The Township concert and fireworks this past Sunday welcomed our largest crowd ever. It was great to see so many friends and neighbors out enjoying the evening. As always, any event of this size takes a team. My thanks to Marlboro Police, Fire and First Aid, Public Works, Police Cadets and, of course, the Recreation Department and Committee for organizing the event. Save the date for our next concert and car show on August 11.
Following a cool and rainy spring, we quickly transitioned to a hot, dry summer. Marlboro Water Utility Customers are asked to Conserve Water. Please limit non-essential water use such as irrigation and cars washing until further notice. Thank you for your cooperation. NOTICE
