Spoofing email
While we all adore Brenda, I promise that she hasn’t sent you an email asking for you to purchase her a gift card. We have been contacted by several people informing us that they have received a spoofing email from the borough looking for gift cards. While I’m sure she would really enjoy the random acts of kindness, please disregard the email.

Snow Emergency lifted as of 8 p.m.
Effective 8 p.m., Thursday, December 17, 2020 the Snow Emergency in Bernville Borough will be lifted. Thank you to everyone who followed the ordinance and moved their vehicles allowing the contracted plow service to due their job in the timely fashion. To those of you that didn’t feel the need to move your vehicles this delays other residents from being able to park along snow routes because of the additional time that it takes to plow around your vehicle. In addition, this is also more costly to the taxpayers. Accordingly, I have directed the Bernville Police Department to, without exception, ticket any and all vehicles not in compliance and to exercise any legal option to remove the vehicles from snow routes.
Snow Emergency
After speaking with our contracted plow service the decision to issue a Snow Emergency for the Borough of Bernville will be in effect as of Wednesday, December 16, 2020 starting at 8:30 PM until further notice. Please remove all vehicles from designated Snow Emergency routes. All residents will be notified when the Snow Emergency is lifted. We thank you for your cooperation during this time.
I’m hoping if I post it, we won’t need it…
This designates Snow Emergency Routes within the borough. When the mayor declares a snow and ice emergency, there is no parking from Garfield Road to Shartlesville Road on Main Street and no parking on Second and Third Streets from Main Street to Route 183. For snow emergency information: Radio – (WEEU/830AM; WRFY/102FM; WIOV/105.1FM), TV – (Berks-Lehigh News WFMZ Channel 69 on cable channel 9).
We will also do our best to post it here on Facebook, bervilleborough.org and the digital road sign at borough hall.
Stay safe.
