Wyomissing Public Works

BOIL WATER ADVISORY HAS BEEN LIFTED.

The Borough of Wyomissing Public Works Department has lifted the boil water advisory for the Greenwood Mall area.

Test results have been received and confirmed that the water meets safe drinking water standards.

Residents and businesses in the affected area may resume normal water use. Boiling water is no longer necessary.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation while our Public Works team worked through the repair, flushing, testing, and required follow-up with our independent water testing group.

The Borough of Wyomissing Public Works has issued a boil water advisory for the Greenwood Mall area only following a water main break over the weekend.

During the repair process, water pressure was lost in the system. When that happens, there is an increased risk that contaminants could enter the water system.

Until further notice, please do not drink the water without boiling it first.

Bring all water to a rolling boil for one minute, then let it cool before using. Bottled water may also be used.

Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation.

Our team has flushed the system and is working with our independent water testing group for sampling, testing, and updates. Once the required test results come back clean, we will notify the affected area and share an update that the advisory has been lifted.

This advisory is limited to the Greenwood Mall area only.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as our team works through this process.

Road Work Scheduled for Friday on South Park Road

Our crews will be performing roadway and blacktop repairs on South Park Road between Franklin Street and Wayne Avenue on Friday - June 19th.

Motorists should expect minor traffic impacts and slight detours through the area as crews work to complete the repairs safely and efficiently. These temporary traffic adjustments will help provide workers with the space needed to complete the project as quickly as possible.

Please use caution when traveling through the area and follow all posted signs and directions from work crews.

We appreciate your patience.

Overnight Water Main Repair on State Hill Road

Our team will be performing a water main repair/replacement tonight along State Hill Road between Penn Avenue and Hobart Avenue.

Work is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM and is expected to be completed by 8:00 AM tomorrow morning.

Motorists should expect periodic traffic interruptions in the area.

Every effort will be made to maintain at least two lanes of traffic throughout the project; however, delays may occur.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Good morning.... GREAT NEWS: we are moving forward with today’s Memorial Day Parade and Remembrance Ceremony as planned.

After monitoring the weather closely overnight and reviewing the latest conditions this morning, it looks as though the weather is going to cooperate enough for us to proceed.

The parade will step off at 10:00 AM from Wyomissing Hills Elementary Center and travel through the Wyomissing Hills neighborhood, ending at Wyomissing Hills Memorial Park.
We invite the community to come out, line the route, wave your flags, support our parade participants, and help us honor the true meaning of Memorial Day.

The Remembrance Ceremony will follow at 11:15 AM under the pavilion at Wyomissing Hills Memorial Park.

Please dress accordingly in case we experience a quick shower, drizzle, or damp conditions during the morning.

Thank you for your patience and support as we worked through the weather. We look forward to seeing everyone this morning as we come together to remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Wyomissing is proud to be a Tree City, and that title comes with a lot of care, planning, and year-round attention.

Our Public Works Tree Department is out and about throughout the community, replacing trees and continuing the important work of maintaining Wyomissing’s beautiful tree canopy. With more than 7,000 trees across the Borough, our team is constantly monitoring tree health, identifying areas of need, and helping make sure our streets, parks, and neighborhoods remain green, shaded, and welcoming.

Tree replacement is an important part of that process. It helps preserve the character of our community, supports the long-term health of our urban forest, and keeps Wyomissing "... looking like Wyomissing."

Thank you to our Tree Department for the thoughtful work they do every season to care for one of the Borough’s most beautiful and valuable natural resources.

You’ve probably seen the street striping crews out and about throughout the Borough.

This work is being done in conjunction with our Public Works Department as crews freshen up crosswalks, curbs, parking lines, and roadway markings around Wyomissing. It is the kind of work that helps keep our streets safer, cleaner, and better cared for.

As they continue working through the Borough, please be patient, slow down, and give the crews plenty of room. A little extra caution goes a long way in helping them do their job safely and efficiently.

Thank you for your patience as this important work continues throughout the community.

Please be advised that beginning Monday, May 18th, the path along the Stone House side of the pond will be temporarily closed through Friday, May 22nd.

This closure will allow our team time to widen the blacktop path, improving access for vendor vehicles servicing events at the Stone House.

We apologize for the temporary inconvenience and appreciate your patience as these improvements are completed.
