Moorestown girls tennis’ returns to South Jersey ends with sectional title
From 1989 to 2015, sectional titles were an annual occurrence for Moorestown High School girls tennis.
However, after falling short of winning their section the last two seasons, the Quakers entered the 2018 season with something they hadn’t had in a long time: a roster consisting mostly of players who hadn’t been with the program during a championship season.
On Tuesday, Moorestown finally got to lift a trophy once again as the Quakers defeated Mainland Regional High School, 4–1, to win the South Jersey Group III championship.
Township grants EPA access to install groundwater monitoring wells
Moorestown Township may be one step closer to determining a source of the township’s water contamination. At the most recent council meeting, the township authorized an access agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency allowing it to install monitoring wells adjacent to the Allison Court Pump Station. The EPA plans on drilling three wells and will test for trichloroethylene (TCE). The township has made an additional request that the EPA expand its testing to include 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (TCP).
