SWCMA

Southwest Warren County Municipal Authority would like to remind all of their water customers that conserving water is good for everyone.

With the recent increase in water and sewer rates, any decrease in the amount of water used will help to minimize this increase. Not only is conservation good for your finances but conserving water also saves the Authorities resources.

Because of the small amount of snowfall last winter and the below average amount of rainfall so far the summer the ground water and surface water streams are all lower than normal.

High water demands with low water sources could create a supply problem if dry weather continues throughout the summer.

SWCMA will be preforming leak detection activities, some during night time hours, in the next few weeks and may have some sections of line turned off for short periods of time.

The maintenance department will try to notify customers prior to these outages.

If any customers notice a decrease in water pressure or unusual wet areas, please contact the Tidioute Borough Office at 484-7424.

The Authority would also appreciate being notified if you use unusually larger amounts of water such as filling pools or extensive watering of yards and gardens.

The Authority will also be conducting smoke testing on the sanitary sewer lines on July 25, 26 and 27. This will help locate unwanted connections of storm water lines such as roof drains, basement drains, and catch basins.

Notifications will be dispersed to all sewer costumers closer to this time.

Garbage pick up

Those residents who live on the other side of the bridge on McGuire Street that will be closed soon are asked to bring their bags of trash as close to the bridge as possible during the time the bridge is closed and Braun Disposal company will pick it up at that point for you.

50/50 raffle

Pennsylvania State Championship Fishing Tournament committee members are selling 50.50 tickets for $1 each with the drawing to be held on July 4, 2012

Winner need not be present to win.

All unsold tickets become the property of P.S.C.F.T.
