Sweeping will continue on Thursday, May 24th and then begin again on May 29th. Residents in the stated areas are encouraged to move their vehicles off the streets so a thorough job may be done. The more cooperation we have from the community, the better we can sweep your street. Also, please do not rake leaves or other debris into the streets. Street sweeping is an important component of storm water management-it reduces sediment build up and decreases silt accumulation in storm water that flows into our local streams. Street sweeping also helps weed control, and of course, beautifies the overall appearance of Perkasie Borough. Wednesday, May 23rd | Areas roughly north of 5th Street and bounded by the Sellersville Borough line and Blooming Glen Road. Thursday, May 24th and Tuesday, May 29th | Town Center district and the areas south of 5th Street and bounded by Park Avenue and Callowhill Street and South Perkasie. Wednesday, May 30th | General clean up of areas not covered and other problem areas. These boundary limits are estimates and this schedule is weather permitting and may be adjusted accordingly.

Of course not! But that is exactly what we do when it rains. Stormwater may be a nuisance or occasionally a hazard but it should never be treated like trash! It is actually a precious resource. A group of municipalities in the Perkiomen Creek watershed, known as the Perkiomen MS4 Partnership, are working together to address portions of the state’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) regulations by helping communities and property managers identify ways to improve their stormwater management techniques and treat stormwater with… well, with more respect!
