The City of Lambertville has secured a $40,000 grant from the Hunterdon County Commissioners to purchase a state-of-the-art sewer inspection camera system.
The grant check was presented to Mayor Andrew Nowick by Hunterdon County Commissioner Director Jeff Kuhl and Deputy Director Susan Soloway and attended by city council members. Present were Council President Benedetta Lambert, Councilman Steven Stegman, Councilman Evan Lide, and Councilwoman Karen Kominsky.
“The Hunterdon County municipal grant program offers crucial funding to enhance infrastructure, ensuring communities are resilient and well-prepared for the future. The new sewer inspection camera system will enhance the city’s ability to monitor and maintain sewer lines, ensuring that Lambertville remains a safe, clean, and well-maintained community for all its residents,” Kuhl stated.
The funding is part of a larger initiative that was announced at the commissioners’ meeting on August 20, which allocated $1 million in municipal infrastructure grants across all 26 municipalities in the county.
The competitive grant program saw Hunterdon County municipalities vie for a share of the funds, with requests totaling nearly $2.5 million.
The city plans to use the advanced camera technology to enhance the capabilities of its public works department. The new equipment will enable more precise inspections of sewer lines, helping to identify and rectify issues such as blockages, leaks, and structural damage before they escalate into more costly repairs and potential environmental hazards, officials said.
The application process involved a review by outside consultants from HFA Accountants & Financial Advisors and T&M Associates, highlighting the rigorous competition for the available funds.
