A cup of coffee is a common bond. The mission of Coffee with a Cop is to break down the barriers between police officers and the citizens they serve by removing agendas and allowing opportunities to ask questions, voice concerns, and get to know the officers in your neighborhood. The Orwigsburg Police Department will be hosting its second annual Coffee with a Cop on August 11, 2018 from 9am-12pm at the Orwigsburg Veteran’s Community Memorial. Officer Robert Bechtel, a certified Police Bicycle Officer, will be holding bike demonstrations and offering bike safety tips. Chief John Koury, Officer Tanner Noecker, and OPD’s newest Officer, Bryce Lewis, will also be available to answer any questions about  the department’s newest vehicle and recently installed computers. Officers will also display their everyday equipment, as well as, new rifle vests and the riot gear that was previously purchased by a generous group of Orwigsburg residents. The Market Square Coffee House will be providing coffee and will have breakfast items for sale. Come be a part of breaking down the barrier between police and the community. Any questions can be directed to Officer Noecker at 570-366-3102 or tnoecker.opd@gmail.com.

The Orwigsburg Municipal Waterworks (OMW) utilizes local groundwater wells to provide safe, clean drinking water to our residents. In an effort to protect our drinking water and keep it safe and clean, OMW is working with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) to develop a Source Water Protection Plan. The plan is a voluntary program that will help ensure the quality of our groundwater for future years.

OMW will use a variety of management options to develop a comprehensive approach to source water protection in an effort to protect our water supplies from the Potential Sources of Contamination (PSOC’s). OMW will work cooperatively with organizations, other municipalities, and community partners to implement this Source Water Protection Plan.

In the event of an accident or spill that has the potential to impact our water supplies, OMW will initiate an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) to minimize any potential impacts. OMW maintains an ERP and updates it regularly. The plan includes emergency contacts and provisions for alternate sources of water. OMW will work closely with local and county first responders in the event of a spill or accident that may threaten the water supply.

We trust that the results of this Source Water Protection Plan will benefit not only our residents served by the Orwigsburg Municipal Waterworks, but also Schuylkill County residents living and working in our local area.
If you have any questions concerning the Orwigsburg Source Water Protection Plan, please contact Dave Teter at 570.657.0115, or at dave@orwigsburg.net
