Please see the below update on roadwork taking place today between Sartori Ave. and Remington Ave.
To The Residents of East Buckingham Ave.
On May 28 and 29 (Thursday and Friday), Earle Paving installed the bituminous base paving for the street reconstruction project. As the residents are aware, the contractor worked well into the dinner hour to complete the work. Typically we wait about a week or two after installing the base paving before constructing the final surface course. The contractor is scheduled to return to the side in a week or two to construct the surface course paving layer.
During the construction, a large wet soft area was encountered in the underlying soils. On Wednesday June 3, New Jersey American Water discovered a leak in an old connection on the water main resulting from a recent water service renewal request. It appears that the pipe has been leaking for approximately two months and contributed to the soft area encountered. Before paving the final surface course, Earle must remove and reconstruct the soft area in the street. We are currently working with the contractor to determine when this work will occur.
The Borough would like to thank everyone for their patience during the construction work.
Reminder! There is a borough meeting tonight at 7:00pm. The 2026 budget will be adopted at this meeting. The full agenda for tonight's meeting can be found here: https://mountephraim-nj.com/.../mount-ephraim-caucus-and.../

MEMORIAL DAY TRIBUTES TO OUR FALLEN

You can participate by lining the procession route, by falling in behind the procession and joining the honor walk, or by attending at any of the designated ceremony locations.
The procession will walk from the firehouse up James Street then proceed down Kings Highway to Norcross Memorial Park on Center Avenue and then move down Davis Avenue to War Memorials. In the event of heavy rain, all ceremonies will take place inside Station 45. Their last full measure of devotion will never be forgotten. We hope you will join us.
This week is National Public Works Week! We would like to thank our Department of Public Works, whose employees work year-round to ensure our community is clean, our roads are safe, and our parks are maintained. we appreciate all they do throughout the year. Please join us in showing appreciation for the mean of our Department of Public Works.
📊The 2026 municipal budget was introduced at the last meeting and will be adopted at our June 3rd meeting.
