The action moves proposed water and sewer increases toward a formal ordinance but does not itself adopt the new rates. Township staff said the increases would support infrastructure reinvestment and address higher costs from the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority. The township reported that 2025 revenues exceeded the budget by $1.5 million, while revenue growth lagged behind spending growth, increasing reliance on property taxes.
