UTILITY WORK AND WORK SAFETY ZONES
All residents are reminded that there is much utility infrastructure work being performed in the Borough by Columbia and Peoples Gas Companies, PA American Water Co., and DLCO. They routinely subcontract to outside vendors who will perform some of their work as well. While there is a substantial amount of utility work being performed in both North and South Baldwin, please remember that they will also be the responsible party for the restoration of those disturbed areas, i. e. disturbed yards and driveways, roadways, and intersections within the scope of their infrastructure improvement projects. We understand these projects, while sometime disruptive, are a temporary inconvenience for long term service benefits. We appreciate your continued patience while these projects are ongoing and want to remind you to please drive safely using extra caution in these utility work zone areas.
