Brigantine approves $11.5 million bond to replace lead service lines

The Brigantine City Council on June 3 adopted Ordinance 2026-9, a bond ordinance authorizing the issuance of $11,500,000 in bonds or notes to finance a lead service line replacement project across the city. The council opened a public hearing and, seeing no public comment, proceeded to a roll-call vote that approved the measure.

Council described the ordinance as the financing mechanism to replace lead service lines and improve drinking-water infrastructure for residents. No amendments or separate motions were requested during the hearing, and the council noted there was no action required beyond adoption at this meeting.

The ordinance passed on a roll-call vote. Council members then resumed routine business, including several grant and contract approvals tied to municipal maintenance and infrastructure.

The city clerk will publish the adopted ordinance and note effective dates or any further procedural steps required by state law.
