At Monday night's Committee meeting, we were honored to welcome Kim Schalek Downes and Margaret Cruz from the NJ American Water team. They joined us to officially present the township with American Water’s 2026 Volunteer Fire and EMS Grant.

This grant funding goes directly toward supporting our local volunteer first responders, helping ensure they have the resources and equipment they need to keep Upper Township safe.

We truly appreciate New Jersey American Water’s continued partnership, generosity, and investment in the safety of our community!

What a GREAT 250th Anniversary of American Independence Celebration at the Upper Township Amanda's field this past Saturday. Even though the weather was HOT and caused a delayed start! Thousands came out to celebrate this special day with our community.

With the biggest finale Upper has ever put on with an INCREDIBLE Fireworks display!

Even Mother Nature and God kicking in to help clear the park in record time at the end of the night! 🤩
