In addition to the rate changes, the council introduced updates to water connection fees and fire hydrant fees. The water connection fees, which apply to new construction, are being revised to remain competitive with neighboring towns. Fire hydrant fees, charged to towns receiving water services from Collingswood, are also being adjusted. These updates aim to ensure that Collingswood remains aligned with regional pricing structures.

The council also took time to honor Sue Perella, a retiring librarian recognized for her 37 years of service at the Collingswood Public Library. A proclamation was read celebrating her contributions to the community and her dedication to public service. The council extended their gratitude and best wishes for her retirement.

Public comments addressed multiple issues, including safety concerns about construction sites and requests for clarification on water billing practices. The council responded by assuring attendees that any safety issues would be promptly investigated and offered to provide detailed information on billing procedures.

Additionally, the council discussed a partnership with a local nonprofit for a townwide gift-giving event, highlighting community collaboration during the holiday season. Upcoming holiday events and initiatives were also outlined, emphasizing community engagement and support for local families.
