Water Conservation Ordinance Passes
On September 8, 2009, the Bloomfield Township Council unanimously adopted a new Water Conservation Ordinance. The ordinance essentially asks residents and businesses to take a few simple common-sense steps to conserve water.
Volunteers Needed for Harvest Fest
Bloomfield Harvest Fest is coming this Saturday and Sunday, September 19-20, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Greener Bloomfield needs volunteers to work our table for 2 hour (or more shifts) to talk to people about our activities.
Council Vote on Township Water Conservation Ordinance
loomfield Township Council members will be voting on a Water Conservation Ordinance at tonight’s 7:30 p.m. meeting. With fresh water as a limited resource, the ordinance sets standards oflawn watering no more than two days per week between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. (when water is less likely to evaporate), and also sets protocols for water/drought emergencies.
Anti-Idling at School Board, Township Council
At tonight’s 7:30 p.m. Bloomfield Township Council meeting, the Council will have a hearing and vote on an Anti-Idling Ordinance. The ordinance, which is separate from the Anti-Idling resolution passed in August, essentially copies state anti-idling codes and establishes local enforcement policies and fines. In addition, a number of Anti-Idling initiatives will be presented for adoption at the Bloomfield Board of Education meeting, which starts at 7:00 p.m. All are encouraged to attend one or both of these meetings to express support for these initiatives.
