A Letter from the Desk of Mayor Cairns
Dear Residents,
The summer is upon us and everyone is busy with outdoor activities. Many of you as well as the adjoining community residents participate in the Beachwood Summer Fun Nights which began on July 8th and will run every Monday night through August 19th. The Recreation Committee and the Municipal Alliance are planning a Luau to take place on August 24th from 12pm to 4pm on the Beachwood Beach. All are welcome to join in the children’s activities, food trucks, hula dancers and much more.
As you’re aware, the Borough provides many activities to all of you for family enjoyment throughout the year. The summer is a time to gather on the beach for relaxation and viewing the beautiful landscape of Beachwood and the Toms River. Unfortunately, the water test results conducted by the Ocean County Health Department have not been up to par. The levels of bacteria have been unsafe for swimming in the Toms River. Therefore, with a heavy heart and collaboration with the Council, it has been decided to close swimming at the beach for the remainder of the season.
Many studies and meetings were undertaken in the early 2010’s with the NJDEP, regional environmental groups , Ocean County and Beachwood. In 2015, Beachwood completed the storm outfall pipe relocation from the west side of the beach to the east side of the beach. This project removed the two pipes that drained into the Beach area. At that time, the entire parking lot was re-built and elevated to accommodate the new storm pipe. The project was a joint effort with the NJDEP, Ocean County Engineering, Planning and Road departments as well as the Barnegat Bay Partnership. The project received an NJDEP grant equal to 50% of the project costs, Ocean County paid 25% of the project costs, and the Borough paid the remaining 25%.
Beachwood Public Works and the Sewerage Authority regularly clean the storm drainage system that discharges into the River. We inspect the outfalls regularly. It should also be noted that storm outfalls from the County and State roads also discharge into the Toms River in the area of Beachwood River front. We work with the County to clean all these systems. Beachwood has always looked for ways to improve the water quality at the Beachwood Beach. The Borough continues to work with the County and the NJDEP to further study the Toms River.
For those who purchased beach badges, the Borough Finance office will honor such refunds but understand, this is government so there is a statutory process that must be followed. If you purchased beach badges, please come to the Borough Hall front window (Tax & Water Payments) and the staff member will check the listing of those who purchased badges and will issue a purchase order for you to sign. The purchase order then goes on the agenda at the next scheduled Council meeting for approval and soon after, checks will be sent out. For those residents 60 years old or more and those military residents who were given free badges, there is no refund.
Regards,
Bill Cairns
