Good afternoon, Maplewood! Hope your August is off to a great start. There's lots to cover this week, so let's get into it.
SEWER & STORMWATER BILL
Your 2025 utility bill (including a new line for Maplewood's Stormwater Utility*) is in the mail. This combined bill is due August 25, 2025, with a 30-day grace period.
The easiest way to pay is with our online AUTOPAY system - but if you want to pay by paper check, please send two separate checks: one for your stormwater payment; and a second check for your combined other sewer charges.
(*Established in 2024, Maplewood’s new Stormwater Utility was created to directly address the impacts of climate change and the growing challenges of stormwater management in Maplewood. The dedicated Stormwater Utility fee is based on a calculation of impervious surfaces on each property, which contributes to stormwater runoff. To learn more about the ordinance, including its development, available credits and adjustments, and additional resources, visit our stormwater information page at www.maplewoodnj.gov/stormwater-utility.)

TONIGHT'S DIVE-IN MOVIE MOVING TO WOODLAND
Due to possible inclement weather, the Dive-In Movie at the Maplewood Pool scheduled for tonight (8/13) is being moved to the Woodland (60 Woodland Rd,). There will be donuts (& maybe even a surprise guest or two!), but guests should plan to bring their own drinks & a chair or blanket to sit on.

MAPLEWOOD POOL
The Maplewood Pool closes in 18 days (!!!), but there is still so much fun to be had!
As a reminder, Maplewood Pool's communications come via our Community Services Dept. so you'll want to subscribe to their Weekly E-Blast & follow them on Instagram to find details on updated August pool hours (pasted here), fun events, our annual Doggie Dip (Sept. 6) & more.
