“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Riverside Commercial Zone is located east of Union Station bordering the river.LMR Disposal LLC has been operating on South Main Street in Phillipsburg since 2015, first leasing the property. They have since taken over the site, but are not in compliance with town zoning code.Having storage of empty waste containers within the town’s riverside commercial zone would be the first step to having LMR’s site plan up before the Phillipsburg Planning Board.In a March 22 planning board meeting, planning members agreed not to recommend LMR’s request for a redevelopment plan amendment to town council.Board members cited the overall vision of the redevelopment plan along with future housing development near the site.Town engineer Stan Shrek said noise, traffic and pollution concerns would all be handled by the planning board. The actual development has to go through the planning department with a site plan. Stakeholders such as LMR are the sunshine and water for the seed of redevelopment, Council member Frank McVey said.“Businesses come and go. Stakeholders stay,” he said Fire hydrant use affecting water color Phillipsburg’s water supplier said that brown water was likely caused by unauthorized fire hydrant use. Though discolored, the water is safe, said Joseph Mingle of Aqua Water.Contractors or pool service companies tap into fire hydrants on the job, which stirs up mineral sediment in the water main, Mingle said.Mingle recommended that town residents run cold water through one faucet for 10-15 minutes to flush sediment out. Then they should call in to Aqua’s call center at 877-987-2782 to file a report. (endment allows waste containers, vehicles in P'burg redevelopment zone)
