Welcome to the Borough of Patterson Heights

Road sealing has ended for this year, as the pavement must be warm enough for the sealing material to flow into the cracks.  Sealing has been very successful, and will be continued next year.

Badly needed repairs to storm sewer catch basins are now being performed, and must be completed before winter.

Yard waste bags and leaf collection will resume and commence as soon as possible, with leaf pickup scheduled to start next week.

The important thing for residents to remember is that these activities are prioritized, with necessary street repair at the head of the list.  

So please be patient.  Out of concern for residents' tax dollars, we maintain a small public works staff.  They are aware of bags being left for pick-up.  The priority right now has to be on projects which need to be completed before winter.

The Firemen's Ladies Auxiliary will be holding a Meatball Sandwich Sale on October 30.  Pickup times are 4 pm until 6 pm.

Be sure to bring your own container for sauce.

A 6-inch roll with 3 homemade meatballs and sauce will be $6.50.

Sandwiches MUST be pre-ordered by October 23.  Please call Sue at (724) 846-0186 with your name, phone number, and the number of sandwiches you are ordering.

Meatball subs are great to have for dinner on Halloween, October 31--quick, easy, and delicious!

The Beaver County Recycling Center in Brady's Run Park will reopen October 21st with NEW operating hours:

Monday and Tuesday  8:30am to 3:30pm

Wednesday  Noon to 5:00pm

Please be sure you are not placing trash containers in the street in front of, or near, your house.  We have ordinances which prohibit the placing of containers near the street before noon on Sunday, but they should NEVER be in the street--mainly due to public safety.

The Borough Council has been made aware of questionable activities in the Park, and the burning of noxious materials at night.  The Council does not object to people bringing forth these issues, but the first question to be asked is, "Did you call the Police?"  

The Patterson Township Police Department is on duty 24 hours per day, but they are unable to help in situations when they are not called.  Reaching them is very easy.  If you have what you think might be an emergency, dial 9-1-1.  Otherwise, you can leave a message with County Dispatch at (724) 775-0883, and an officer will contact you very soon.  Don't be afraid to call the Police--you won't be judged, and you won't be charged ($).  Call.  That's the only way they can help you. 

If you are interested in being alerted in the case of an emergency (like the chlorine gas leak in Rochester on July 12), start by going to the Beaver County website (www.beavercountypa.gov).  

On the right side of the page, about halfway down, there is a link to "Swift 911 - Emergency Notification Services."

Click on that box, and you will be taken to a portal where you can sign up to receive emergency alerts.

If you have a family member with mental or physical challenges, we can alert the Police Department, Fire Department, and County Emergency Management team by means of a list maintained in the Borough Office.

If you have any questions, or would like to have someone added to the list, give us a call or send us an email.

IMPORTANT

All residents should have recently received a pamphlet with current emergency preparedness information.  If you are living with a person who has special needs, please complete and return the Special Needs Card enclosed in the pamphlet.

The Borough Council has approved Ordinance 281, which regulates soliciting in Patterson Heights.  This ordinance DOES NOT affect soliciting by minors (Girl Scouts, Little League, school fundraisers).  Solicitors MUST have a Borough-issued ID, plus another photo ID.  If you see anyone soliciting without having first registered with the Borough, you are encouraged to contact the police.

IMPORTANT:

If you do not want solicitors coming to your house at all, the Borough will add your address to a "Do Not Knock" list.  If you would like to be added to the list, contact the Borough Office by calling (724-846-0677), or by completing a Get In Touch form found at the bottom of this page.

If you are adding or making changes to the structures on your property, you may need a zoning permit, a building permit, or both.  This includes adding a deck, an addition, a larger porch, a garage, or a fence. If you have any questions call the Borough Office at (724) 846-0677, or send us an email.  By the way, your contractor is not always your best source for information about Patterson Heights zoning regulations.

 Stop by 498 Fourth Street, and check out the Little Free Library.  Take a book/leave a book.  This is truly one of gems of our community.  The LFL librarians are always adding new books that are donated by Patterson Heights residents.

If you are not aware of it, Valley Waste no longer wants glass in the mixed recycling bin you put out on Monday.  Without getting into all the reasons why it has become difficult to recycle glass, we want you to know that the County Recycling Center in Brady's Run Park will begin taking glass bottles and jars on Wednesday mornings starting in June, from 8 until 11 am.

ALSO AT THE RECYCLING CENTER

The Through Beaver County's Lens: Glass to Glass program collects eyeglasses, sunglasses, and reading glasses for reuse.  Collected eyeware are then shared with local doctors or sent abroad through Mission Vision for use in developing countries.

Please keep eyeware bound for reuse separate from glass bottles and jars.
