The Boro Hall is still experiencing a loss of the billing software. Unfortunately we were hit with lightening during friday’s storm.

The Borough Office will be open and can take payments provided our customers bring their bill, late notice or door hanger so we have your account number, name and how much you owe. We want to insure your payment is applied to the correct account.

We are hoping to be fully up and running by Thursday August 13th. We are at the mercy of other contractors to get us running smoothly.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
