The Falls Township Board of Supervisors is taking a proactive approach to undertaking several spring outdoor projects aimed at improving residents’ quality of life.
When Deena Fischer was looking for a preschool for her then 2-year-old daughter Morgan, the working mom of three couldn’t find a preschool to suit her needs. So, she built one. “I didn’t like what I was seeing,” she said. “If I’m going to send them to school, I want them to learn something.”
PECO is currently working to upgrade and replace existing bare steel natural gas services in Falls Township. This includes installing new underground pipe which is more durable, enhances safety and improves service reliability. Work is being done by Intren/Miller Pipeline, a qualified PECO contractor and is expected to be complete by April 2019. Affected customers will be contacted directly to schedule appointments for work to be done on their property or in their homes.
With an eye on motorists’ safety while traveling on Falls Township roadways, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to contract with Jones Engineering Associates to undertake various duties related to the township’s annual road program.
Please be advised that the bridge located along Mill Creek Road, that passes over Martins Creek just west of the Mill Creek Inn, is scheduled to be replaced. Bridge replacement work will begin on or about August 20th, 2018 at which time a detour will go into effect that will allow traffic to bypass the construction zone and access all nearby properties.
Falls Township would like to introduce a new directory that local businesses can apply for and be added. This will make searching for companies in our Township that much easier. Hopefully this will be a great resource for residents and businesses alike, and keep the spending local!
Residents are encouraged to report a concern (pothole, streetlights in need of repair, abandoned vehicles, etc...) using our online "Report A Concern" form.
