On Wednesday, April 10, 2024, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency established national limits for six types of
per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, in drinking water. The
substances, known by the initials PFAS, are nicknamed “forever
chemicals” because they barely degrade, are very heat resistant, and are
nearly impossible to destroy, so they can linger for very long periods
in air, water and soil. The Borough of Stone Harbor has been testing for
these chemicals well in advance of the new regulation and to date, no
PFAS has been detected in Stone Harbor’s water supply. The Borough will
continue to monitor for these chemicals on a routine basis, however, we
are confident that our water supply is safe and free of these forever
chemicals. The EPA estimates that between only 6% and 10% of the
drinking water systems will be affected by this regulation.
The week of April 15-19th will see street paving operations in
Avalon by the Borough’s contractor, Asphalt Paving Systems (APS). Here
is the tentative schedule: Monday – Fine
grading of soil aggregate base course on 6th Street, Mill and pave base
course on 17th Street & Dune Drive. Tuesday –
Fine grading of soil aggregate base course on 6th Street, Pave surface
course on 17th Street, Pave surface course on Dune Drive (76th-78th).
Wednesday – Pave base course on 6th Street.
Thursday – Pave surface course on 6th Street,
Pave surface course on 62nd Street
APS will notify all residents
prior to paving of the streets.
The Cape May County Chamber of Commerce and Greater Wildwood Chamber of
Commerce are pleased to announce the upcoming Liquor License Reform
Seminar, set to coincide with the new reform policy. This
pivotal event will take place at South 9 Bar & Grille in Cape May Court

Ferry Hosts 50,000,000TH Passenger!
That's not a typo! Passenger number 50,000,000 sailed aboard the Cape
May-Lewes Ferry earlier this month, crossing from Cape May to Delaware.
Zach Kaltenbach and his family are regular ferry passengers crossing the
Bay regularly to visit Zach's parents in Cape May. The Kaltenbachs were
given free passage to celebrate 50,000,000 passengers having sailed
aboard the ferry since 1964.
