Just a reminder, Monday, April 27 at 7pm. The Council meeting location has been moved to the Fire Hall on State Street so there is plenty of room for those who want to attend.

Thank you to our Portland Litter Crew!!! Les Moore the Borough's Sanico rep., Mayor Prator, Councilwoman Karen Pfeiffer, Councilwoman Stephanie Steele and Portland Hook & Ladder Fire Dept/resident Jim Steele for helping clean up along Rt 611, the Park and Ride and Delaware Ave to Demi Rd. A big THANK YOU to UMBT road crew for picking up the bags for Portland and hauling them to the dumpster donated for the event by Sanico.

Just a reminder that the Borough is sweeping the streets April 23 and April 24 so if you have sidewalks, driveways, even the edge of a yard that has cinders piled up from the winter sweep, blow or rake them out to the street edge for the sweeper. NO yard debris as it clogs the sweeper and then delays the time sweeping.
There is no parking on Borough streets between the hours of 8am and 5pm to allow the sweeper to get right up along the curb edge. Please find alternate parking on these 2 days.

The weather will be nice so if you have a some spare time tomorrow between 10am and 1pm come on down to the Portland Park and Walk lot in downtown Portland, grab a safety vest, gloves and a bag and help clean up some of the trash that lays along our roadways. It is litter clean up day throughout the Slate Belt.

We are all set up and ready for a Egg Hunt. Hope to see you at 11am. Portland Ballfield ALL are welcome.

Well Portland here we are again.
Someone is dumping something they should not down the their drain. Over the last month the waste water plant numbers have been all over the place, with no clear path as to why until this morning. By chance one of the technicians happen to be at the plant doing routine samples when the milky white looking substance was witnessed yet again in the influent line coming from the residential and small business portion of the Borough. There are 2 distinct manholes. One from the Borough side and one from the Industrial businesses on Demi Rd.
Sample were taken, again these samples are costly. IT NEEDS TO STOP! We are all users of the system it is time to take responsibility and realize that ANYTHING you place down the drain that is not water from washing dishes, your hands, toilet water, shower water, washing machine water should not be going down the drain.
ABSOLUTELY NO heavy cleaners, solvents, paint, cooking oils, grease, etc.....
