Due to a water line break on July 1, the Borough will remain in a Public Water Supply Emergency throughout the week & weekend and we will reassess the water supply on Monday, July 10, 2023. In accordance with Borough Ordinance No 432 it shall be unlawful for any person to draw water from the public water supply except for Essential and other ordinary household uses. Users should evaluate your personal and business activities involving water and take all possible steps to reduce your usage. Non essential uses including exterior watering of lawns or gardens, washing of vehicles or trailers, washing of outdoor surfaces, filling of pools or the operation of fire hydrants under non-emergency conditions shall be prohibited until further notice. Penalties for violation of this order will result in fines ranging from $100 to $1,000, and or physical restriction of the water service of a violator.
Recently implemented water conservation measures are having a positive impact on the usage in our water system. Water usage is typically higher on the weekends which puts a strain on the water system. You can make a difference in this matter and your compliance is appreciated.
