WELCOME TO
BRIDGEWATER
TOWNSHIP
Your municipal government offers
many excellent services, from the
necessary sewer maintenance to the
community-building recreation
programs. This brochure lists the
individuals who work for those
important departments, as well as
several of the volunteer boards and
commissions that add to the quality of
life that is the exemplar of other com-
munities. If you are interested in serv-
ing the Township in any volunteer
capacity, please forward a letter of
interest and copy of your resume to
me at the address listed in this
brochure. Or if you have ideas on how
we could improve any services, I
would be glad to hear from you.
