Each year, Wayne Township prepares an annual budget that is approved by the Township Council and the State of New Jersey. This process starts when the municipal department hands submit their budget proposals for review by the Business Administrator and the Finance Department.  After review and revision, the budget is introduced to the Township Council for approval. If approved by the Council, the budget is then submitted to the Division of Local Government Services in Trenton for its review and approval.

The current introduced budget can be found on the Finance Documents page.

Mayor Vergano and the Wayne Health Department are advising residents that there are currently no cases of Legionella reported within the Township. We are closely monitoring the situation and will update residents as needed.

Legionellosis is a bacterial disease that causes severe pneumonia often requiring treatment in a hospital with antibiotics. People can get Legionnaires’ disease when they breathe in small droplets of water in the air that contains the bacteria. Other sources of contaminated water can include hot tubs, decorative fountains, and cooling towers. The usual symptoms of Legionnaires’ disease may include cough, shortness of breath, fever, muscle aches, and headaches. Legionnaires’ can also cause other symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, and confusion. Should you have any of these symptoms please contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Any questions please contact the Health Department at 973-694-1800 ext. 3241 or 3373. Have a safe and healthy New Year.
