Overview: The Dunellen Borough Council meeting on March 3, 2025, centered on a proposal to potentially sell the borough’s sanitary sewer system. The discussion was led by Ms. Shiron Rry Den, a special project advisor, who presented the proposal as an exploratory step rather than a commitment. The aging infrastructure of the sewer system has led to increasing maintenance costs, prompting the council to explore financial relief through a sale. Residents will ultimately decide the fate of the system in a public vote scheduled for November.
