Due to the pending sale of Cheltenham’s sewer system and all other factors considered it was determined that a planning study would be a necessity and would provide important and valuable information that may affect the future of the Borough.

At the request of Borough Council, the Borough Engineer, Pennoni Associates, has investigated the feasibility of diverting the Borough’s sanitary sewer flow from the Cheltenham Township Sewer System to alternate means of conveyance and treatment.

At the next Public Works meeting on Wednesday, January 9^th, 7:30 pm at Borough hall, Pennoni Associates will perform a presentation of that study, outlining the alternatives identified within the evaluation.

All interested parties are invited to attend this public presentation. Hope to see you there.

Happy New Year! Now that the holidays have passed, Jenkintown Borough has scheduled Holiday Tree Special Pick-Up for the next Five (5) consecutive Tuesdays. Jenkintown Borough Public Works will begin curbside pick up of Holiday Trees next Tuesday, January 8th. These special pick up days will continue for five (5) consecutive Tuesdays (1/8, 1/15, 1/22, 1/29 and 2/5). Residents are encouraged to place the trees out on Monday evening in order to guarantee pickup.

Please be sure to remove all lights and ornaments so that the process of turning the trees in to usable mulch will not be negatively affected.
