• First Responders Training Planned

    First responders plan multi-agency Training Exercise in April

    The Mountville Fire Company and West Hempfield Township Police Department in cooperation with several other local and county organizations are planning a joint exercise to train first responders on handling various elements of an Emergency. The event will take place on April 3rd from 5:30-10pm at Field of Screams. This rain or shine event will allow responders the chance to train for a threat scenario in a realistic way by encountering a crowded venue with lots of distractions and possible complicated terrain.

    Residents in the surrounding area can expect to hear sirens, loud noises, and possibly see heavily armed responders staging in the area of the Mountville Elementary School, Mountville Community Center, Field of Screams and the surrounding area while they take turns responding to the mock scenario at the Field of Screams complex. Spring Street will also be closed for the training that is expected to begin at 5:30pm and run until 10pm.

    Any questions related to this event can be directed to the Public Information office of West Hempfield Township Police Department by contacting Corporal Ryan Mckernan at MckernanR@whtpd.org or the Mountville Fire Company’s Public Information Officer Peter Taraborelli at PIO@mountvillefire.com

  • Snow Removal Information

    LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!

    With the approach of the possibility of accumulating snow, Mountville Borough asks for your patience and cooperation during a snow event. The Borough is not permitted to assist residents by clearing their driveway, sidewalk, etc. Please remember the following safety tips to protect yourselves and assist our operators to be as efficient as possible in the snow removal process:

    • If you have driveways and garages, park your vehicles off street. This will allow the snow removal team to clear the Borough streets curb to curb and helps prevent having your vehicle(s) plowed in.
    • Unfortunately, it is impossible for snowplows to avoid having snow placed at the bottom of driveways. It will be helpful if you shovel snow in your driveway to the right side of your driveway (as you face the road). In addition, clear the area immediately to the left of your driveway which will allow the plow to unload before reaching your driveway and avoid the bulk of the snow to be pushed back onto the driveway.
    • Do not shovel, blow, or plow the snow from your driveway and/or sidewalk into the roadway at any time. This creates hazardous driving conditions and is a violation of State and Borough laws.
    • Mountville Borough has an ordinance that states that a pathway of at least three feet (3’) in width must be cleared within 24 hours after the snow has ceased. There are penalties that may apply if this ordinance is not obeyed. This is for the safety of all pedestrians, especially our school children.
    • Please keep storm drains opened and fire hydrants cleared that are near your residence.
    • Make sure you have emergency supplies for your entire household in case you end up having to remain in your home for a few days. Be a good Samaritan and check on your elderly neighbors to see if they need someone to run errands or remove the snow on their property.
    • Take caution not to overexert yourself when shoveling snow. Take frequent breaks and drink plenty of fluids. Bend from your knees, not your back, to prevent back injury. Be careful not to overload your shovel. Try to push snow when possible instead of lifting it.
    • Make sure that your snowblower is turned off before attempting to clear any snow that may clog the chute or any moving parts of the blower.
    • Heavy snow, hard packed snow, or ice on a gas meter could temporarily stop the flow of natural gas and could create a safety hazard.
    • If you must drive, make sure to give yourself enough time to get to your destination. Chances are, it will take longer than normal.
    • Drivers- please be aware of children playing in the snow or sledding!

    Many thanks from our Snow Plowing team for your cooperation and patience during snow events!
