Community Input Sought on Future of Mifflinburg Community Pool
This summer, the Greater Susquehanna Valley YMCA partnered with Mifflinburg Borough to assist with the operation of the Mifflinburg Community Pool. Now, as the Borough considers the future of the pool and the possibility of significant renovations, community members are being asked to share their feedback.
Whether you visited the pool once, came every week or didn’t visit at all this summer, your perspective matters.
A short community survey has been created to better understand how residents and families use the pool, what they value about it, what could be improved and what they would like the future of the Mifflinburg Community Pool to look like.
The survey takes approximately five minutes to complete.
Take the survey at:
Mifflinburg Community Pool Feedback
The survey link can also be found on the Mifflinburg Community Pool Facebook page.
Community members are encouraged to complete the survey and share it with friends, family and neighbors. Feedback collected through the survey will help Mifflinburg Borough and the Greater Susquehanna Valley YMCA better understand the community’s needs and priorities as conversations about the future of the pool continue.

Water Main Replacement
The Borough of Mifflinburg will be replacing the booster pump station near the reservoir tanks on Route 304. In order to prepare for this work, the water main on Old Orchard Lane needs to be replaced as it is in poor condition. Dave Gutelius Excavating was hired to do the work and will be starting the week of July 20th replacing the water main on Old Orchard Lane from Quarry Rd to the Booster Station. This work will include construction of new watermain, new valving, customer services and the replacement of the water pumping booster station. There will also be some yard and/or driveway restoration to reconnect customer services and to provide electric service to the new booster station. At the start of and during the project there will be times when water will be shut-off to make new connections. Some of these shut-offs will require boil water advisories. During these boil water advisories, effected customers in the area will be properly notified. Access to the area may be limited. When the contractor will be working directly in front your residence, direct access to your home might be restricted so please plan accordingly. Please plan ahead for deliveries, parking and/or access to your properties. You may want to consider alternate routes for traveling to and from the area as well. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact the Borough Office at 570-966-1013.
Utility Bill Payment Options
The Borough of Mifflinburg offers several payment options for customers to use to pay their utility bill:
* Cash, check, or money order at the Borough Office. There is a locked payment box in the lobby to allow payments to occur 24 hours per day.
* Checks or Money Orders can be mailed to the Borough Office.
* Credit Card payments are accepted online via the Borough website.
* Auto-deduction of Utility payment from a bank account. This payment will happen on or around the 15th of each month.
Some customers have requested to be able to participate in a budget payment plan. While the Borough’s current billing software does not allow for this billing method, customers could still opt to pay ahead on their account to smooth their costs during the higher use months. In effect making their own budget plan, these customers would be advised to start this in advance of their higher usage months, because the Borough will still require that accounts remain current.
More information about payment options is available on the FAQ page under the Utilities tab.

Mifflinburg Electric System and Rates
The Borough of Mifflinburg is one of 35 Pennsylvania communities that owns its electrical system. Our Borough owns and operates the electric utility distribution system dedicated to serving Mifflinburg’s residents and businesses. This decision was made in the early 1900’s by Mifflinburg’s leaders to ensure that our residents had the services they needed.
Owning our own electrical system has many benefits; one is that all decisions made regarding the operation of the system are made locally by the Borough’s Elected Officials, for the benefit of the community. There are no shareholders demanding higher profits on their investment, just service and investment in the Mifflinburg community. Another benefit is the swift local response to electrical outages, meaning there are only short interruptions in service. Additionally, we have local employees to provide these services.
Mifflinburg Borough Council has entered into power supply agreements through the American Municipal Power Association. These supply agreements extend over several years to help to stabilize the costs of energy to help to ensure that our energy rates are stabilized to some extent.
However, just like the larger electrical suppliers, not all components of our supply can be controlled locally since we are connected to a regional supply grid that helps to ensure that the lights remain on even during peak electricity demand days. This regional supply grid (PJM Interconnection) must ensure that there is enough capacity within the grid to supply every customer’s needs all year long.
PJM analyzes the capacity available from all generators and the pricing for this capacity is determined through auctions held at predetermined times. The most recent auctions have seen rates reach unprecedented levels which are driving all electric rates higher for every customer in the PJM service area. Several factors have contributed to these increases: rising demand nationwide and locally, more regulations regarding generation, fewer power plants in service and new generation not being built quickly enough.
In addition to these increased capacity costs, the Borough of Mifflinburg is also facing the loss of its’ largest customer for 2026. This loss will be felt in many ways-most significantly in the loss of revenue and jobs.
Due to all of these factors and future uncertainties in the Electric Supply market, the Borough has been working closely with our Electrical Engineers to re-evaluate the Borough’s electric rate structure to meet these rising electric costs. The Study prepared by the Utility Engineers can be found in the link below. This study has recommended that the billing structure be changed to reflect the same structure in which the Borough is billed by their supplier. This change in billing structure will simplify billing to some extent, but it is also designed to cover the increasing costs. Borough Council recognizes that these increases will affect every customer and has made every effort to cut costs and only increase rates the bare minimum required to meet the needs of operations. Borough Council has also been very careful to ensure that the rates remain competitive with other area suppliers to ensure that the costs of living and doing business in Mifflinburg remain comparable to other communities in our area.
