Face It, Fix It utility improvements
The city's quarterly infrastructure update shows real progress: no sewer bypasses during this year's storms, DEP fines down to $4,000 a quarter, and $16 million in county resiliency money mostly aimed at flooding in Ward 4. Major projects include the lift station relocations and an injection well to stop river discharges by 2032.
