This year the State of Pennsylvania is implementing new regulations which will make the Borough responsible for sediment, in addition to Nitrogen and Phosphorous monitoring.
Please refer to the below documents below for more details:
2 – New Britain Borough Outlets & Discharge Points
3 – Total Maximum Daily Load Report
4 – Pollution Reduction Plan Report
Borough residents can make a difference in stormwater quality by limiting fertilizer use, keeping disturbed areas protected from running off of your property and by not letting yard litter and waste (including grass clippings) get to the street, collection system and streams.
Residents are asked to limit use of herbicides and fertilizers, dispose of hazardous materials such as oil, paint, medications, detergents, etc. to hazardous waste drop-offs – never flush or dump. It is also important to maintain your vehicles by checking and repairing oil and antifreeze leaks and washing your vehicles in the yard, instead of the driveway which will filter detergents and prevent stream pollution.
Runoff quality can be increased by installing rain barrels, creating rain gardens, connecting roof drains to stone pits – these are all methods of providing ground water infiltration.
We hope you plan on joining us for this fun and exciting event this weekend – September 15-17! For more information you can go to the webpage at: New Britain Borough’s Pop Up Park

South Tamenend Trail System Construction
This is a message from ReadyBucks
New Britain Borough Residents,
Construction is scheduled to begin on the South Tamenend Trail
system later this week. This will link pedestrian access from the north side of
Butler Avenue to the train station. The roadway will have one lane closed and
will be entirely closed for safety purposes during certain periods while the
contractor is working close to the road. It would be helpful if this area of
roadway is avoided during this period if possible. Construction is expected to
be completed by the end of October.
If you have any questions please contact the Borough Administration office at 215-348-4586 or at secretary@newbritainboro.com.
Thank you for your patience during this time,
New Britain Borough

Road Work on Mathews & Aarons Avenues This Week
This is a message from ReadyBucks
Good Morning New Britain Borough Residents,
Residents on Mathews and Aarons Avenues please note that milling and patching of areas of the roadway will be performed this week.
Please do not park on, or near the road as the contractor will need ample space
for construction. These patches will provide the structure integrity required
for the road and the road is scheduled to be micro surfaced in the Spring which
will provide a nice uniform roadway surface.
If you have any questions please contact the Borough Administration office at 215-348-4586 or at secretary@newbritainboro.com.
Thank you,
New Britain Borough

As summer winds down you might be thinking of what you can do to have some outdoor fun with your family before the start of the new school year. If you have already had your family vacation and are trying to come up with some low or no cost ideas…There are so many things to do right here in Bucks County and even in your own back yard! Here are some suggestions:
Wilma Quinlan Nature Preserve: Take a walk through the 26+ acres of trails through the woods, meadows and along the Neshaminy Creek…be one with nature as you observe birds and the surrounding trees and shrubs. You can also explore Miriam’s Meadow just across the street on Landis Mill Road and observe the wildflowers and learn a little about nature along the way. (Main entrance to the preserve is on Mathews Avenue, accessed by Sand Road)
Covered Bridge Park: Why not pack a picnic lunch and head over to Covered Bridge Park for some family fun? You can talk a walk or bike ride along the bike/hike path, go fishing or check out the community garden and bee hives in Orchard Park.
Beyond the Borough…you could spend the day at Peace Valley Park and do some hiking, biking, sailing or fishing, explore the countryside and find the 12 remaining 19th century covered bridges of Bucks County, take a drive along the Delaware River and enjoy the beautiful views or explore Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve or Washington Crossing State Park for a bit of local history.
Whatever you decide to do we hope you enjoy time spent with family outdoors while the warm weather is still with us. Before you know it, it will be back to school!
