NJAW Lead Replacement Program Update: See Lakewood Canvassing Map and Schedule Per New Jersey American Water (NJAW)’s qualified contractor, CDM Smith; crews are currently canvassing homes within the 7153.03 and 7152.01 census tracts – in the Park Ave and Ridge Ave/Brook Road neighborhoods of Lakewood – for potential lead service line replacement. (See attached map for detailed locations.) As previously reported, this program is part of NJAW’s Lead Service Line Replacement Program, which follows a 2021 state law that requires all water providers to identify and replace lead and galvanized steel service lines by 2031. A service line is the pipe that brings water from the water main in the street into a home or building. It includes both the portion owned by New Jersey American Water and the portion owned by the property owner.Residents and property owners can self-identify and report their water service pipe with photos to New Jersey American Water or schedule an in-person inspection during a time that’s convenient for them. New Jersey American Water has sent, and will continue to send, informational materials in multiple languages directly to potentially affected customers explaining how to proceed with either of these options.

Local Firefighter, EMT to Participate In Program Supporting Israeli Emergency Services; Let’s Help Cover His Costs Yossi Brander, a local firefighter and EMT, is preparing to participate in a specialized program with the Emergency Volunteers Project (EVP), an organization that trains firefighters from around the world and prepares them to assist emergency services in Israel during times of need. Brander serves as a firefighter with the Lakewood Volunteer Fire Department, Pleasant Plains Fire Department, and Woodridge Fire Department. He is also a volunteer EMT with Pleasant Plains First Aid Squad and a paid EMT with Lakewood EMS.

"One of the things that attracted me to EVP is that it's not just about training," Brander said. "The goal is to build a network of firefighters who are ready to assist Israel when needed. The training prepares us for that mission while also giving us valuable skills that we can bring back to our own departments and communities." Participation in the program is self-funded, with costs including airfare, lodging, training, equipment, and other program expenses.

10 Children Killed in Driveway & Parking Lot Tragedies in Just 18 Days These tragedies occur when a driver, often a parent or close family member, unknowingly strikes a child who is in a vehicle’s blindzone while pulling forward or backing up. Most incidents happen in driveways, parking lots, and other off-roadway areas where children are expected to be safe. Children age 5 and under are the most at-risk due to their small size and limited cognitive ability to understand danger. The recent deaths come as America’s vehicle fleet continues to grow larger. Today, approximately 80% of new vehicles sold in the United States are SUVs, pickups, and other large vehicles, creating larger blindzones around vehicles and making it increasingly difficult for drivers to see small children in front, on the side and behind vehicles.

JUST IN: New Jersey Assembly Approves Amendment To Remove Controversial Provision From Bill Following Agudath Israel Opposition The New Jersey Assembly has postponed a planned vote on controversial legislation aimed at strengthening protections for reproductive and transgender health care providers after a campaign led by Agudath Israel of America’s New Jersey Office raised constitutional concerns about a provision that would have authorized lawsuits for alleged interference with gender-related and reproductive health care decisions. Moments ago, the Assembly voted to amend A2218, a broad health care “shield law” package that passed the Senate last month, will be amended before receiving a vote in the full Assembly later this month. The amendment removed the provision that drew objections from Agudath Israel on religious rights grounds, as well as the right to freedom of speech.
