The Brick Township Municipal Utilities Authority (MUA) is set to reopen the Brick Reservoir for recreational walking on June 9. This follows a closure initiated on August 18 for essential improvements aimed at enhancing the reservoir's water capacity and mitigating erosion effects. Chris Theodos, the executive director of the Brick MUA, confirmed that the staff is preparing for the reopening, with normal operating days and hours resuming as detailed on the authority's website. The closure allowed for significant infrastructure work, including the reinforcement of the reservoir's upper slopes to prevent erosion during low water levels. Prior to these enhancements, the MUA was limited to drawing water from only the top 5 feet of the reservoir. The project has stabilized an additional 15 feet of slopes, improving overall water management capabilities. This reopening marks a positive development for the local community, allowing residents to enjoy the recreational space once again.
