Washington Rock Not Affected by State Shutdown

By: |

A post on the NJ Department of Environmental Protection’s website noted, “Due to the government shutdown in the State of New Jersey, all State Parks, Forests, Historic Sites, and Recreation Areas will be closed until further notice.” However, one state park was still open: Washington Rock State Park atop the Watchung Mountain in Green Brook. The small parking lot was open and no signage regarding the closure of the property was visibly posted. Visitors were walking around the grounds and enjoying the thirty-mile panoramic view of the valley below. Washington Rock is currently being managed by the Somerset County Park Commission which may be the reason why the park was open (The commission’s offices were closed on the day this article was written).

NJAW returns to normal water treatment

On April 15, New Jersey American Water (NJAW) will resume the use of chloramines (a mixture of chlorine and ammonia) to treat water at its Canal Road and Raritan Millstone Water Treatment Plants. Municipalities that receive service from these plants include Dunellen, Green Brook, Middlesex, Piscataway, and Plainfield. According to a NJAW spokesperson, chloramines have been used in the system for more than 25 years and are an effective method of water disinfection meeting all national and state drinking water standards.

The three-month changeover to chlorine allowed the company to perform maintenance on its chemical feed systems and remove any residual ammonia from the water distribution system. Continue Reading →
