How Can You Save Water?
Conserving water isn't just about taking shorter showers and limiting when you water your lawn (though it definitely helps!)
Find out how you and your family can save water by clicking through the tabs below.
Did you know?
An idling car wastes up to .5 gallon per hour; a medium-duty truck may waste even more.
While individual episodes may be small, the cumulative impacts of idling are large.
For everyday drivers, the best way to reduce idling is to simply turn the key when stopped for 10 seconds or more, except in traffic.
Tailpipe emissions contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone, which can damage lungs, especially for children.

Sustainable September
This September, we're giving YOU tips and tricks on how to implement greener, more sustainable practices into your life. Save money, resources, AND the planet!
Water
Invest in a water filter and utilize a reusable water bottle to cut down on plastic waste.
Energy
Switch off your lights during the day and when you leave and when you leave a room to conserve electricity.
Food
Support your local farmers market and make it a goal to buy produce that was grown as close to you as possible.
Resources
Sign up for paperless billing with your suppliers. It's easy to do and helps to reduce paper consumption.
Hillsborough Township Now has Our Very Own Electric Vehicle Charger!
On August 3rd, Hillsborough Township Mayor Shawn Lipani cut the ribbon on a new electric vehicle (EV) charging station. Located at the Municipal Complex, the charging station was installed thanks to the “It Pay$ to Plug In Electric Vehicle Charging Grants Program” grant that was awarded to the township in the amount of $8,000.
The two port Level 2 EV charging station by ChargePoint is located at the front (main) parking lot at the Municipal Complex that is marked exclusively for that purpose.
The rate for charging electric vehicles at the Municipal Building is $1.50 per hour for the first three hours with no fee for parking. After 3 hours, the charge will be $1.50 per hour for charging and a $5 fee for parking.
