Mayor's Office

Welcome from Joseph Lachawiec

The Township of Ocean, with 7,400 residents and 21 square miles, is characterized by many desirable qualities. With a diversity of landscapes, parklands, residences and services, Waretown offers an agreeable quality of life most communities cannot claim.

From Waretown to Brookville, our town presents a pleasant mix of history, natural beauty, access to amenities and excellent schools. We're also fortunate to have a well-managed municipal government and low taxes.

In the future, Waretown will be physically linked by the evolving Ocean County Rail Trail System. The trail will connect South Toms River with Barnegat and allow county residents an even greater opportunity to enjoy Waretown's beautiful environment.

But perhaps Waretown is most fortunate in having so many citizens who eagerly volunteer to serve their community. Working together, our community-minded citizens help to strengthen and protect the small town atmosphere we so enjoy.

Volunteerism in Waretown is an honored and valued tradition and is really what makes this a great community. Our Fire Companies, First Aid Squad, boards, commissions, committees and other organizations have always relied on residents to volunteer their time and effort to help maintain the services our community needs.

So if you appreciate what Waretown offers, and want to help ensure it retains all of its enviable qualities - volunteer! You'll gain a great deal of satisfaction from your efforts, and you'll enjoy the company of those who work to make Waretown a happy, healthy, pleasant place to live, work and raise families.

Sincerely,

Joseph Lachawiec
