The Edinboro Volunteer Fire Department has taken a huge step towards the realization of a social club adjacent to the Washington Township municipal campus. After several years of working out the multiple details and seemingly never ending roadblocks, the time has finally come to commence construction. Based on the need to keep the department financially stable, the concept of a club designed to support emergency services and provide a comfortable atmosphere for people to gather and enjoy food and spirit seems like a perfect match.

Now that the weather is warming up, it's time to get outdoors. Washington Township just acquired 25 acres adjacent to Peninsula Park that the community will be able to utilize. Read the full article from the Edinboro News-Journal.

Washington Township, in its continuing effort to improve its operation and service to its residents,  International single-axle plow truck. As the cost of these trucks and related attachments makes new purchases even more expensive, the Township searched for ways to save money and improve our service. This truck will be equipped with a reversible front-angle snow plow and wing and will be able to better ploe snow next season. The traditional fixed-angle plow can only cast snow to the right  and makes intersections and dead ends difficult to clear properly, using up valuable time and effort. Watch for this new truck this upcoming winter as it is a great addition to the fleet. The total cost with snow fighting accessories was $137,000.00 and was paid out of the General Fund. The equipment is kept on a rotation schedule to help crews with good machines to run and pride in the fleet while keeping costs in check. Another way Washington Township  spends YOUR tax dollars wisely to better serve you.                                                                                                                                

This photo and video represents more and more the conditions we face at the recycling site Washington Township maintains for the Erie County Recycling Program. As you can see, multiple people are disregarding signs to not leave materials on the ground, not overfill the bins and to only leave true recyclables. The eventual answer will be either a costly monitored site or the removal all together. PLEASE tell others that if the practice continues, Washington Township will absolutley risk losing this important service.
