Mifflinburg Borough residents receive their water, sewer and electric services from the Borough. The Borough has recently been made aware that some residents have received emails about their electric. As a general rule, The Borough does not email you about your account., so please be sure to carefully check the email address that is sending you these messages to be sure that the email comes from a trusted source.

Not sure of the source of the email or if it is from a trustworthy source? Then you should definitely not respond and you should definitely NOT SHARE ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION! Contact the Borough Office with any questions at 570-966-1013.

Mifflinburg Borough Council is forming a committee to help determine the future for the Mifflinburg Community Pool.  This facility is in need of a major repair/upgrade project in the near future if operations are to continue.  Does this facility still fill a need in the Mifflinburg or should other alternatives or projects be considered in its’ place?

If you are interested in being a part of this conversation and are willing to attend regular meetings to discuss this, please contact the Borough Manager for more information. An advisory committee is being formed and we need a few good people to help us consider the Borough’s needs and options for this facility.

This group will meet monthly for the next year or so as we work to gather information to help Borough Council determine the fate of the pool.  The first meeting will be February 16, 2022 at 6:00 PM at the Mifflinburg Municipal Building located at 120 N. 3^rd Street.

Snow Removal Reminders Residents are reminded to remove all vehicles from public streets in instances when snowstorms are imminent. Please avoid parking in dead ends and cul-de-sacs during snow removal efforts.  This will greatly help Borough employees in their plowing efforts.  If you have available space on your property for off-street parking, please use it when it snows. We are also offering another reminder to mark the edge of your lawns with brightly colored stakes or flags to aid in locating where the edge of the pavement ends during snow plowing. Please remove all ornamental decorations, basketball structures, etc. that may end up in the path of the snow plows.  These simple yet conscientious efforts will greatly assist the Borough crew in clearing the snow and minimizing personal property damage. Last, but not least in the way of cold weather and snow reminders, please keep your sidewalks clear. The Borough has ordinances which require that property owners clear their sidewalks of snow within 24 hours of a snowfall event.  This ordinance is intended as a Public Safety measure.  Getting the snow or slush off of your sidewalks as quickly as possible helps prevent the buildup of ice and snow from becoming a hazard to pedestrians and a liability to you. Thank you for your cooperation!

Mifflinburg Borough Council has adopted a sewer lateral inspection Ordinance.  This takes effect immediately and requires that prior to the transfer of ownership of any property in the Borough, the property owner must have the sewer lateral inspected (using a camera) as well as down spouts, floor drains and sump pump connections. This work is to be completed by a contractor with a Borough representative present to determine if there are any failing pipes or illegal connections. If any deficiencies are noted they must be repaired and then the property must be re-inspected before an Evidence of Compliance Certificate can be issued. The Ordinance and the inspection forms are available on the Borough’s website.

This Ordinance was enacted to help us eliminate some of our inflow and infiltration issues which contribute to our hydraulic overloads, which have caused our system to experience violations and to be placed under a connection prohibition by PA DEP.

For more information please contact the Borough Office – (570) 966-1013.
