There is currently significant smoke and a haze that is noticeable throughout Northern NJ and the local regions. This is as a result of Canadian Wildfires. It is expected to remain in our area until sometime late on Friday.
Butler is currently seeing a 72 AQI Score (Poor) which means the air has reached a high level of pollution and is unhealthy for sensitive groups such as those with Asthma, COPD and other medical issues. Those groups should consider reducing activity levels and time spent outdoors.

Reminder, it’s still hot 🥵 out there! Please try to conserve electricity raising the thermostat a few degrees is a lot better than having no power!

PJM is forecasting potential "peak demand" days on 7/1, 7/2 and 7/3. Please do what you can to reduce power consumption over the upcoming several days. By doing so, you can help us control costs and ease the strain on our distribution system. In turn, this also helps the transmission service that feeds our substations. Thank you!!

With the heat expected to increase the rest of the week, plan accordingly!

the Borough of Butler is expected to receive significant snowfall and blizzard conditions beginning Sunday morning through mid day Monday, with periods of heavy snow, strong winds, and reduced visibility anticipated throughout the day.

Residents are reminded to move all vehicles
off Borough streets and roadways prior to the start of the storm.

Vehicles left on the street may impede snowplowing and emergency operations and may be subject to ticketing or towing in accordance with Borough ordinances.

To help ensure public safety and to allow crews to operate efficiently, residents are encouraged to take the following precautions:

• Avoid unnecessary travel during the storm, particularly during peak snowfall and high wind periods

• Park vehicles in driveways or other off-street locations

• Secure trash cans, recycling bins, and other loose outdoor items that may become airborne due to high winds

• Charge cell phones and electronic devices in advance

• Prepare for the possibility of power outages by having flashlights, batteries, and essential supplies readily available

• Check that sump pumps and generators are functioning properly

• Use caution when operating generators and space heaters

• Maintain a minimum 3-foot clearance around fire hydrants to ensure access for emergency responders

The Borough’s Public Works, Electric, Police, Fire, and Emergency Services Departments will be actively monitoring conditions and responding throughout the duration of the storm. Snow removal operations will begin as conditions warrant and will continue until roadways are cleared.

We appreciate your cooperation and patience as our crews work to keep Butler’s roads safe and passable.
