flag East Orange approves $10M wetlands project to capture stormwater, boost water supply by 20%, with construction starting late 2026.

flag The East Orange Harvesting Wetlands project, a $10 million stormwater capture initiative, has received final approval after a five-year process and legal review. flag It will add 600 million liters of treated water annually to Orange’s supply by diverting stormwater into a 13 million liter wetland pond on Summer Hill Creek, boosting water security by 20%. flag Construction begins late 2026, with completion expected in 2027. flag The project includes walking trails, boardwalks, and barbecue areas. flag While officials cite increased drought resilience for the elevated city, critics warn reduced downstream flows may stress the creek, though regulators confirm minimum flows will be maintained to prevent the creek from running dry.
