Borough Operations During YELLOW Phase

The borough building remains closed to the public at this time. We are continuously evaluating guidance on how to best conduct daily operations and will reopen to the public when it is safe to do so. Operations continue without interruption as our police, fire, and public works department are all healthy and performing their duties. Borough staff is reporting to work in staggered shifts throughout the week and regularly checking voice and email. For inquiries and general borough business, please call the administration office 412-242-8424 and follow the prompts for the specific department you need.

Code enforcement and occupancy inspections are operational but require an appointment. Please contact Lee Miller at 412-242-4824 option 2 for assistance. Mr. Miller is in the borough on Tuesdays and Fridays.
