Welcome to the Borough of Patterson Heights

(Updated 6/12/2025) 

A NOTE FROM THE WATER AUTHORITY

Beginning June 9 through a approximately mid-July, the Beaver Falls Municipal Authority will do routine maintenance slushing of the entire distribution system as required by TA Department of Environmental Protection. Hearing this time, we will return to the using of chlorine as our primary disinfectant instead of the chlorines we use now. During the fleshing period, our customers may experience discolored water and or a noticeable odor of chlorine in the water. Please be aware that these are all normal conditions and nothing is wrong with the water. Should you experience discolored water during this time, please let your cold water run for several minutes until the water clears up. A chlorine odor may be present until we return to chloramine disinfection following the system slushing. Should you have any questions regarding this public notification, please see our website www.bfwater.net

DON'T BE THE FOOL!!!

If you watch America's Funniest Videos, each week you see some adult (I'll call him or her a Fool) tear up a child's toy or piece of playground equipment because they think it is funny to use objects that are obviously designed for kids.  Already in Patterson Heights we have seen (yes, we have surveillance cameras) adults climbing up the new slide backwards and swinging on a swingset designed for children.  Actually, one of the main reasons the new equipment was purchased is that it is replacing devices damaged by vandalism (or Fools). 

So let the kids have their fun, and stay off the playground equipment if you're too old or too large.  Don't let yourself be the Fool! 

BOROUGH TAX PAYMENTS

Beginning this year your borough tax payments must be made payable to the Borough of Patterson Heights or Patterson Heights Borough.  Do NOT make checks payable to Nadine Galbreath or "Tax Collector."  The bank will not accept you payment unless you check is made payable to the Borough of Patterson Heights or Patterson Heights Borough.  You may mail your taxes to 207 Mulberry Street Extension, Apartment 508, Beaver, PA 15009 OR you may place your tax payment in the mailbox which is still outside the lot where Nadine's house used to be.

SOLICITING DOOR TO DOOR IN PATTERSON HEIGHTS

A soliciting permit has been issued to Trinity Solar, so a young man may be coming around to see if you are interested.

THANK YOU FOR CHECKING OUT OUR WEBSITE

This website is the official means  of communication for the Borough of Patterson Heights.   On this site you can find information on events scheduled for the neighborhood, like the water line work, dates and times for meetings, elections, and the arrival of Santa Claus.  There are reminders about things like placing trash cans in the streets, recycling, and building and zoning permits.

The Borough posts the minutes of every council meeting, and in the minutes you can find summaries of monthly police and fire reports, as well as summaries of other topics discussed during the meeting.  The Borough also posts meeting agendas prior to each Council meeting.  There is also a page listing the Borough's ordinances.

If you have a question, you can email the borough office at several locations on this site.

The Borough does not use sites like Nextdoor, Facebook, or Twitter to publish important information.  

PLEASE REMEMBER

Keeping trash cans OFF the street is important.  Placing ANYTHING on the street is in violation of Borough Ordinances as well as state law.  Don't be surprised if you receive a citation for having cans in the street.  Our primary concern is safety, including yours.

THE POLICE ARE WAITING FOR YOUR CALL

While Patterson Heights is a very safe place to live, there are situations in which the police get involved, but too often they do not.  Often you see posts on social media about cars being broken into,  or inappropriate behavior on the playground, for example.  In the majority of cases, when asked if the police were called, the resident replies, "No,"  or "I didn't want to bother them." 

Remember that the police are here to protect and defend us, but they can't do so if they are not called when bad things happen.  So please, as the saying goes, "If you see something, say something."  We have been instructed to not call the non-emergency number, as it rings to the same operators who take the 9-1-1 calls.

So remember, the police (or fire department or ambulance) can be reached at 9-1-1.

WATCH OUT FOR THE KIDS!

Despite many warnings about stopping at intersections in Patterson Heights, drivers continue to blow through stop signs.  Unfortunately, children on bikes, scooters, and roller blades also ignore the stop signs, even when they are out with their parents.  Please be sure your children are stopping and looking at ALL stop signs.  Please avoid that 9-1-1 call that nobody wants to make!
