Medford Delays Implementation of New Sewer Rates to November 1st
The council approved Resolution 121-2026, authorizing the tax collector to delay the imposition of new utility rates as per Ordinance 2026-11. Specifically, the delay of new sewer rates moves the imposition date from October 15th to November 1st for sewer accounts. This decision was made due to potential delays in finalizing the state budget and subsequently preparing and distributing tax bills on time for the original August 1st due date.

Medford Authorizes Increased Contract for Critical Well Rehabilitation Project
The council approved Resolution 128-2026, authorizing a change order to modify and increase the contract amount for the well number six rehabilitation project awarded to AC Schultz Inc. The increase is attributed to the well being in worse condition than initially assessed when it was pulled for repairs. This well is critical as it is the largest in town, pumping 1,000 gallons per minute. Delaying this repair could lead to a loss of water supply. [cite: 1062-1063, 1068, 1128, 1263-1264, 1279-1280, 1286-1290, 1296-1300]
Medford Approves $4.8 Million Bond for Water and Sewer Upgrades Amidst Ratepayer Concerns
The council adopted Ordinance 2026-14, appropriating $4,875,000 for water and sewer utility improvements and authorizing the issuance of bonds or notes for the same amount. The improvements include sewer plant upgrades, well and water main upgrades, road program, and water meter replacements. During public comment, residents expressed concerns about the impact of these expenditures on utility rates and the township's financial capacity, particularly in light of recent rate increases and upcoming developments. Officials clarified that the upgrades are for maintaining current systems, not increasing capacity for future housing, and that the exact financial impact on ratepayers will be determined when the bonds are issued in September. The ordinance passed with a unanimous roll call vote. [cite: 444-446, 450-791]
Medford Welcomes Two New Junior EMS Volunteers

Resolution 129-2026 was approved, authorizing a contract award to Waste Management for the transportation and disposal of sludge for the Medford Township Water and Wastewater Utility. This contract is essential for the continued operation of the utility's sludge management process. [cite: 1064, 1128, 1264-1265, 1304-1305]
