Hannah Atkins and other city pools are waiting for you! |
Thanks to a post on Plainfield Councilor Rebecca Williams' blog (see here), residents can find a schedule for the city's pools, which are open to all regardless of age or neighborhood.
The city pools are open Monday through Saturday from Noon to 7 PM and Sunday from Noon to 6 PM. Monday through Friday the pools are reserved from 10 AM to Noon for participants in the Recreation Division's summer camp.
Plainfield's three pools are --

Plainfield, like other communities in Union County belongs to the FirstAlert system by which residents can sign up for text message notifications.
Here is a sample of Fanwood's emergency heat notice sent to me by a reader --
I just don't understand what is so freaking hard about supplying information to the residents of Plainfield. It can't be any harder than making sure everyone knows when Mayor Sharon is making an appearance somewhere.From: user@ucfirstalert.org

Dan,
This kind of advisory is not difficult to set up. The council suggested an emergency alert system after Irene (2011) and BEFORE and after Sandy (2012). I was working on getting an emergency alert system in place back in 2005-2006, when I was working at the public access station. The spreadsheet and other projects were left dangling--looks like they will dangle until we have a new mayor, with professionalism, true leadership, and a competent and professional cabinet.
