Deny the application for a water well on Green Acres land at Nishuane Park

Deny the application for a water well on Green Acres land at Nishuane Park

The Issue

The township has not exhausted other feasible options for placement of the well, and must do so before taking away valuable parkland used by many members of the community. Montclair has a water surplus and has not made the case that the well is needed.

The Decision Makers

Essex County: Montclair Township Mayor
Responded
“I strongly urge that all other options be explored. This is a slippery slope (no pun intended) to taking away needed green space, community ambiance and perhaps even subjecting residents to potential fumes and by products. The Council needs to deny this application. ”
Robert Russo

Montclair Town Council
Responded
“Thank you for writing to me on the well issue. I spent time last week visiting the hill and walking the area, to review neighborhood concerns, which I certainly share. I will review all of the input and hopefully will make a decision in the best interest of Montclair. Deputy Mayor. bob Russo”
