PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT: HYDRANT FLUSHING To help ensure high quality water, the State College Borough Water Authority will begin to flush water mains, weather permitting, on Monday, March 27, 2017. The flushing will begin in the Boalsburg area continuing throughout the distribution system for approximately six (6) months. Flushing will occur between the hours of 8:00A.M. and 4:00P.M. Customers may experience a temporary drop in their water pressure and/or a slight discoloration in their water. If you experience slight discoloration, flush your faucet until your water runs clear. The slight discoloration is not harmful.

SNOW REMOVAL AROUND FIRE HYDRANTS: The State College Borough Water Authority is reminding all residents to refrain from piling snow on fire hydrants. It is imperative that fire hydrants remain accessible to local first responders. If there is a fire hydrant located adjacent to your property please take the time to make sure that the fire hydrant is not plowed and shoveled under making it inaccessible. In the event of an emergency where seconds count, a clearly visible and accessible fire hydrant could be the difference between minor and major damage. Please take the time to make the fire hydrant visible from the street and clear a minimum of 3 feet away from all sides of the fire hydrant. Thank you for your time and efforts in helping to keep our community safe.

Alert: Due to a water main break, Allen St. will be closed from Beaver Ave. to College Ave. and Calder Alley will be closed from Frazier St. to Pugh St. Motorists are urged to find an alternate route. The road will remain closed through 6:00 PM Tuesday June 28, 2016.

State College Borough Water Authority is currently working on a Forest Management Plan for approximately 300 acres owned by the Authority at Shingletown Gap. The Authority has had the land surveyed to identify the property lines and has hired a Consulting Forester to inventory the property. The consultant will prepare a ten year management plan detailing strategies to improve the forest health. The management plan will inventory the trees and shrubs on the land and the forests state of health. The benefit to having the Forest Management Plan written is to help improve the forest health, wildlife habitat, improve the growth potential of desirable trees and shrubs and also improve the source water protection.
