To the Editor:
We want to thank all the thoughtful Hopewell residents who took the time to learn about and discuss the future of our municipal water system. Your participation — from attending the community meeting at the Calvary Baptist Church to sharing ideas for local management — showed how much our town values transparency and community-driven solutions.
Although the referendum to sell the system passed, we remain proud of the strong engagement that this process inspired.
Now that the sale is moving forward, all residents can look forward to the benefits promised — including the anticipated $1.1 million in annual surplus and about $1,445 in property tax reduction for the average home.
The Borough Council endorsed the sale on the promise of tax relief, and we trust they will deliver on that commitment.
Let’s continue to stay informed, engaged, and united as we shape Hopewell’s future together.
Sincerely,
Hopewell Borough Public Water Alliance
