ANNOUNCEMENTS
Groundwater Update
The Local Hydrologic Status (formerly Drought Monitor) has been updated on March 13, 2025.
The 90-day Precipitation Indicator is now in WATCH status. Over the past 90 days, 7.6 inches of precipitation fell which is in the watch range (average is 11.2 inches). Winter precipitation is most effective in recharging aquifers.
Over the past 365 days, 35.6 inches of precipitation fell which is also in the WATCH range (average is 50 inches). This annual deficit of 14.4 inches is the basis for regional drought reports: Pennsylvania | U.S. Drought Monitor
On average, groundwater levels begin the seasonal rise sometime in October to November. Local groundwater levels remain near, or lower than, the lows experienced in the 2016 drought. The groundwater indicator remains in WATCH status. The next data download is in April.
With warmer weather coming, residents will be thinking about Spring gardening activities. For water-saving tips for gardening and lawns visit the information from Penn State Extension: https://extension.psu.edu/water-saving-tips
RECYCLING AT NOCKAMIXON TOWNSHIP BUILDING DISCONTINUED
Recycling at the township building was discontinued on Friday, February 28 due to ongoing abuse. Charges from repeated contamination of the bins during 2024, which also resulted in the entire contents being sent to the landfill, led to the decision. Please contact your waste hauler for curbside recycling options.
