TRENTON â An urgent Trenton Water Works infrastructure project could be imperiled.
City Council rejected a proposed bond ordinance Tuesday night that would have authorized $15 million in bonds to finance Phase 3 of TWWâs lead service line replacement program.
The measure needed at least five âyesâ votes to pass, but only four of the council members supported the ordinance.

At-large Councilman Santiago Rodriguez and West Ward Councilwoman Robin Vaughn did not vote on the bond package, and Council President Kathy McBride voted no, killing the ordinance proposal.
In public comments, West Ward resident Cherie Garrette said TWW is spending âtoo much moneyâ on outside contractors. âThis is a wholesale job,â she said, âbut you priced it at retail prices. Itâs just ridiculous.â
