Attention Fleetwood Borough residents. Unfortunately, during construction of a new water main, the entire Borough lost water pressure for a short time. We have issued a Borough wide boil water advisory beginning immediately (10/25/21). Residents and anyone on the Fleetwood water system should bring all water to a rolling boil, let it boil for at least one minute, and let it cool before using or use bottled water. You should use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth and food preparation until further notice. Boiling water will kill any bacteria that may have entered the system. Two days of consecutive samples of water must be cleared by the DEP. We will notify everyone as soon as we get clearance from the DEP that the boil advisory can be lifted, but will be a minimum of 2 days. We realize this is an inconvenience, however, we want to be sure our residents stay safe. Boil water advisory details are posted at Borough Hall and are available here – Details of boil water advisory

Band-shell and Bridge in Park
- The band-shell in the park has been demolished due to decay at the base of the 35 year old laminated wood arches. The roof was removed and replaced with a temporary tent, and the stage and electric have remained for outdoor events this year. Long term: Council is getting estimates and looking at options to cover the stage. The borough is pursuing matching grants (DCNR and DCED) to help cover the expense but unfortunately this grant process extends the time where the stage will not have a permanent cover.
- There is a tentative plan to replace the bridge that was washed out last summer. The borough is pursuing a DCNR grant to assist with this project. Engineering for the bridge is underway as well as applying for DEP permits. The estimate to have a new bridge in place is spring 2022.
Restrooms at Park Reopened.
The park restrooms have been re-opened. For now. Unfortunately the same weekend they were opened the restrooms were again vandalized. Police are asking for assistance if anyone has any info. Security video from cameras as the park is being scrutinized by police as well.
