Residents asked to voluntarily conserve Water
TRENTON, NJ- Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin today issued a drought watch for the Northeast region of the State, asking residents of Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris and Passaic counties to voluntarily conserve water due to continued hot and dry conditions and increasing concerns about reservoir levels.
The DEP has observed serious drops in some reservoir levels, especially the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission's Wanaque and Monksville reservoirs, and United Water Company's Oradell reservoir. Scattered thunderstorms may provide some welcome relief today and tomorrow but are not expected to appreciably improve the water supply situation. |

 New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin today asked residents to voluntarily conserve water due to a persistent dry spell and extremely hot weather, key factors that are beginning to affect water supplies statewide. The DEP is not issuing a formal drought warning at this time but is asking state residents to be aware of the situation and use water more carefully, especially when it comes to lawn watering and other unessential uses. The goal is to moderate water demand through voluntary conservation.
The current conditions are starting to offset plentiful water reserves generated by a wet winter and spring. While reservoir levels are still relatively high, current summer water demand combined with weather factors are starting to have an impact. Residents are being asked to use water wisely and efficiently, particularly as outdoor consumption increases due to lawn and landscape irrigation, agricultural needs and other outdoor water use activities. |

The Township’s office of Environmental Affairs has created the Montclair Green Film Series, in cooperation with Community Green (www.communitygreen.org), a state-wide non-profit group. Hosted at the Public Library’s Main Branch at 50 South Fullerton Avenue, the films are shown monthly, usually on the third Thursday of each month, at 6:30 PM. All events at the Montclair Public Library are free.
The eye-opening films all cover some topic of environmental sustainability. Most have received critical recognition and awards from screenings at film festivals across the country and around the world. Speakers and experts on the respective topics are often invited from throughout the region to facilitate thought-provoking public discussions after the viewings.
Please Note Change:
For the month of June, 2010, the date of the film screening will be changed due to a scheduling conflict at the Library. Instead of the third Thursday, this month the film event will take place on Thursday, June 24. The location and time remains the same. The film we will screen in June has not yet been chosen, but will be announced shortly.
For further information, please call the Environmental Affairs office at 973-509-5721, or email

 A sure sign of summer in this suburb is our successful Montclair Farmers’ Market, which kicks off its eighteenth season on Saturday, June 5, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Walnut Train Station parking lot. The market runs all summer, and through the fall into November.
All five of our familiar farmers – Tree-Licious Orchards, Sunden Farms, Vacchiano’s, Matarazzo’s, and Farmer John (the organic grower) – return to Montclair this season with their fresh produce, often picked within 24 hours. In addition, the market boasts several delicious food artisans, such as our local organic Bread Company (on Walnut Street), a cheese maker, a fishmonger, a beekeeper with hone and wax candles, a specialty condiments purveyor, a pesto maker, and a pickler. |
