April 2024 Community Updates: Eclipse Viewing, PFOS Plant Progress, Tick Warning, and Local Ordinances

The April 2024 community newsletter outlines several key updates. The first is a total eclipse on April 8th, starting at 2:00 pm and ending around 4:15 pm. Residents should use special glasses to view the eclipse and anticipate traffic delays.

The newsletter also updates on the PFOS treatment plant project. The community is working on the plant's design and funding. It also warns of a potential rise in the tick population due to a mild winter. Residents should wear light-colored, long-sleeved clothing and check for ticks after visiting wooded areas.

The newsletter announces the resumption of brush and leaves collection. Leaves should be dry and in clear bags, and brush should be cut to 5 feet and neatly piled. Due to vandalism, Jordan Park will close from dusk to dawn, with fines for violators. The playground is for children 12 and under, and overnight parking requires permission.

A new sign recognizing George Washington's journey through the area has been placed near the South roundabout. The newsletter also mentions new and proposed ordinances, including food truck regulations, a protection ordinance for property owners, and changes to the yard sales ordinance. The council will vote on a zoning ordinance change to encourage business expansion in the B-1 district.

The newsletter reminds residents about mailbox and sidewalk regulations, announces the 2024 Cash Bash hosted by the Saegertown Volunteer Fire Department, and celebrates National Library Week from April 7-13. The Saegertown Heritage Society will open the Museum on Broad St. on April 13th. The newsletter encourages residents to share the newsletter if they don't receive it in their water bills.
